Cloud-native integration modernization empowers biopharma connectivity
Overview
A leading American biopharmaceutical company partnered with us to bridge the gap between on-prem and cloud systems, aiming to establish a unified source of truth and decommission legacy middleware. The client sought a robust, cloud-based integration platform to streamline connectivity, optimize operational efficiency and lower costs across a complex, global enterprise.
The Challenge
The client’s legacy middleware suffered from stability and security issues, limiting integration between diverse on-prem and cloud applications. This fragmentation slowed operations, increased support costs and hindered the ability to scale or innovate.
To support 40+ trading partners and 125+ interfaces, the company needed a modern, hybrid integration platform that would centralize standards, reduce technical debt and accelerate time-to-market.
The Solution
We delivered a full-scale modernization of the client’s integration ecosystem using Boomi. Key actions included:
- Re-engineered all interfaces from architecture through deployment to ensure compliance
- Migrated 40+ trading partners and 120+ integrations, including GxP and business-critical processes across EMEA, APAC, US and Canada
- Established an Integration Center of Excellence (iCoE) for standardizing Boomi Integration, API Management and B2B/EDI Management
- Consolidated middleware into a single, cloud-native platform supporting on-prem and cloud connectivity
- Decommissioned servers to simplify the IT environment and reduce support load
The Impact
The transformation delivered measurable, enterprise-wide benefits. Highlights of this implementation includes:
- Unified platform now supports all core connectivity, EDI and API management tasks
- Reduced development times and costs by up to 30% through automation and reusability
- Enabled connectivity with 200+ applications and 1,000+ endpoints for maximum flexibility
- Leveraged Boomi’s cloud-native architecture for automatic upgrades and regression testing
- Reduced support costs by 90% and retired 80+ legacy servers
Beyond the Numbers
By consolidating disparate integration platforms into a unified, cloud-native solution, the client unlocked new levels of agility, compliance and innovation. The streamlined architecture empowered teams to collaborate globally, accelerate digital transformation and position the organization for scalable growth in a highly regulated industry.
Celebrating Success
Our partnership with this biopharma leader highlights the transformative impact of cloud-native modernization on complex, global operations. Insights from the Cloud Evolution report reveals that 80% of organizations believe the true value of public cloud can only be realized when applications are modernized during migration rather than simply lifted and shifted.
This success demonstrates how a unified integration platform enables enterprises to scale efficiently, reduce technical debt and accelerate innovation across critical business processes.
