Case Study
Challenges of Going In-House
Case Study Summary
A top 10 multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology company had hit numerous roadblocks throughout their multi-year initiative to enhance PMx efficiencies across their different teams of scientists. This included having previously brought in software from an outside vendor to use with in-house developed solutions that was supposed to allow for modeling and cloud computing.

Challenge
Due to a lack of industry and domain-specific knowledge within the vendor’s scientific and cloud engineering disciplines, the resulting custom-built platform suffered severe performance issues and a difficult end-user experience for their scientists.

Solution
With the Metworx platform, backed by Metrum Research Group’s scientists, engineers, and domain-specific expertise, the client was able to course correct to a successful outcome that included:
- Out-of-the-box design leveraging pharmaceutical industry experience to customize tools and performance, reducing the learning curve on software
- MetrumRG expertise enabling optimal model performance
- MetrumRG engineering experience supporting the tailoring of validated platform needs, including a managed source control system

Results
The client benefited from enhanced platform flexibility, improved IT control, more efficient cloud resource provisioning, increased scientist productivity, and faster validation cycles.

Impact
By transitioning to Metworx, the organization overcame years of usability and performance issues, empowering their teams with a validated, purpose-built solution designed specifically for the needs of pharmacometric scientists.
