10x Greater Report Accuracy for AstraZeneca through DWH Modernization on AWS
Challenge
As a Data Centric organization, AstraZeneca Canada’s on-premise system was becoming outdated and inadequate in a rapidly evolving industry. They felt that the data that they had was not being leveraged to the fullest of its potential and further, provided inconsistent information that didn’t allow for accurate insights. Source data was easily manipulated by business users which resulted in distrust. AstraZeneca needed to implement a modernized platform that would create a single repository of trusted information, across their organization.

Solution
AstraZeneca sought an innovative solution that would allow them to leverage data so they could quickly extract insights that would drive their strategic decisions, better targeting customers and exploring unexploited markets. The Global organization had already made the conscious decision to leverage AWS as a cloud provider, ensuring a global and scalable solution eliminating the need for costly local on-premise systems.

Results
Adastra architected and implemented an enterprise Data Warehouse, leveraging Amazon Redshift to replace AstraZeneca’s on-premise Oracle and Business Objects solution, instilling a set of Governance best practices and accelerators to ensure trust and accuracy. A typical project of this size and scope can require 8-12 month delivery time. By leveraging AWS and best practices, Adastra could do it in half the time. The conscious change from Oracle to Redshift ensure a reduction in cost and increase in performance.
