Our healthcare research client’s executive leadership team envisioned a future that enabled best-in-class translational research by empowering researchers to do their best work. This future state would drive research innovation and enable AI and team science at an entirely new scale, all while improving governance, security, and compliance.
More than 30 different highly-regulated healthcare business units leveraged the existing data environment. Major cloud providers had yet to consistently produce strong cloud infrastructure and platform engineering, let alone integrate with best-in-class translational research and HIPAA-compliant cloud environments.
We took an iterative approach and developed a cloud data fabric built on Databricks in Azure. This fabric allowed the aforementioned departments to migrate their data assets to the cloud and expand upon their current capabilities. Users are now empowered to ingest data from a wide variety of data sources (RDBMS, APIs, file systems, Synapse, Big Query, etc.) without the need to write code for the majority of scenarios.
The results speak for themselves:
