How a Healthcare Giant Co-Engineered the World’s First Industry Data Sciences Cloud with Amaze

Client & Challenge

A leading global clinical research organization operates over 20 data centers and serves as one of the largest healthcare data custodians. They aspired to migrate 98% of their operations to a secure, resilient cloud platform—specifically Snowflake and Cloudera. The task was monumental: migrating 15,191 servers across disparate data centers, selecting the optimal cloud service provider, discovering existing infrastructure, and ensuring data integrity throughout the transformation. 

The Solution: Industry Data Sciences Cloud (IDSC)

Partnering closely with the client, co-engineered the industry’s first Industry Data Sciences Cloud (IDSC) using the proprietary Amaze® platform. This cloud environment was tailored specifically for healthcare, supporting clinical trial data, population health insights, real-world evidence, pre/post product launch analytics, and patient-reported outcomes. 

Execution Strategy

A phased, iterative approach ensured precision and minimized risk: 

  1. Discovery (6 weeks): Automated environment scanning, dependency mapping, and migration strategy recommendation using tools like Movere and TSO. 
  1. Assessment (6 weeks): Migration complexity categorization, wave prioritization, and development of a migration calendar. 
  1. Migration (2 years): Foundation setup for security, networking, identity, and high availability. Automated builds and templated deployments supported seamless wave-by-wave migration execution. 

Transformational Benefits

  • 5× faster identification of research subjects for COVID-19 vaccine trials—accelerating market readiness. 
  • 3× faster intelligence delivery, enabling over 25 billion annual transactions to be processed swiftly. 
  • 90% reduction in country-level analytics processing time—from multiple weeks down to mere hours. 
  • 75% reduction in manpower per region for data processing. Results include a cloud-powered architecture seamlessly integrating disparate datasets to support R&D and self-service insights. 

Strategic Impact

This transformation elevated the organization’s operational agility, decision-making capability, and innovation velocity. By leveraging Amaze® and the IDSC framework, the client achieved unparalleled data processing scale, stringent compliance, and near-instant analytics—all critical for advancing clinical research and public health outcomes.
