Using the Power of Data to Transform Operations & Ensure Compliance
A global leader in pharmaceuticals and medical devices, operating in over 41 countries, required a transformative approach to managing its extensive and complex master data. The company specializes in biopharmaceutical research and manufacturing, ensuring the safe and efficient production of life-saving treatments.
As a large-scale enterprise managing over 350,000 material master records across multiple regions, the company faced increasing challenges in maintaining data integrity, ensuring regulatory compliance, and optimizing operational efficiency. The existing landscape consisted of multiple disconnected systems, requiring extensive manual intervention for CSV validation and regulatory compliance. Fragmented data silos led to inconsistencies, higher operational costs, and increased compliance risks, while outdated workflows slowed decision-making. The organization needed a centralized, automated solution to streamline its master data governance, improve compliance, and enhance business agility.
To overcome these challenges, the company implemented SimpleMDG’s end-to-end master data governance solution, powered by SAP BTP, to establish a centralized governance framework that seamlessly integrates with SAP and non-SAP systems.
By automating compliance workflows, the company significantly reduced manual intervention, improving the accuracy and reliability of CSV validation while ensuring GxP-compliant electronic records and signatures.
The solution also provided real-time inventory and supplier data access, strengthening supply chain efficiency and enhancing data-driven decision-making.
As the company prepares for its S/4HANA migration, SimpleMDG has played a critical role in ensuring clean, structured, high-quality data, laying the foundation for a seamless transition.
The implementation of SimpleMDG has delivered measurable business impact. By unifying master data across SAP and non-SAP systems, the company has eliminated redundancies and improved data accuracy. The time required to process maintenance requests has been reduced from 4-5 days to just a few hours, thereby, significantly enhancing operational efficiency. With the retirement of two legacy systems, the company has successfully cut its data governance expenses by 50%, reallocating resources to strategic initiatives.
Compliance readiness has also improved, as automated validation processes ensure full adherence to FDA and GMP regulations, reducing compliance burdens and mitigating risks.
Additionally, integrating AI-driven analytics has provided deeper insights, further enhancing decision-making and business agility.
