Unified repository with research data from various CROs, partners, internal data stores, and external sources

The Challenge
The client faced significant challenges in managing their research data due to scattered data across multiple on-premises databases, leading to delays in processing and analysis. The process of onboarding new vendors and enabling them to share or consume research data was inefficient and time-consuming. Inconsistent data access for downstream systems further hindered operations, and insufficient access control measures resulted in security vulnerabilities, leaving data exposed to unauthorized access and posing risks to the organization’s overall data security.
Our Solution
Agilisium designed and implemented a tailored Research Data Lake solution to seamlessly integrate with the client's existing data sources while enhancing security and streamlining data management processes. Key elements of the solution included:
Unified Data Repository
Centralized data lake consolidating data from CROs, collaboration partners, and internal sources.
Flexible Data Integration
Multiple data sharing options, including FSx, SFTP, and DataSync thats offers users flexibility to share data efficiently.
Enhanced Security Protocols
Implemented least privilege principles to restrict user access based on role-specific requirements.
Metadata-Driven Architecture
Introduced a metadata-driven architecture to streamline the loading and management of data from various sources.
Improved Data Quality
Introduced comprehensive data quality checks and a robust QA team for system readiness.


The Outcomes
A unified platform for seamless research data management, improving efficiency and security across the organization.
