AMAG Pharmaceuticals is committed to addressing unmet medical needs through innovative therapies. Headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, AMAG focuses on treating complex health conditions such as anemia, pregnancy complications, and menopause-related issues. The company also collaborates with patients and healthcare professionals to improve access to care through education and support programs.

AMAG invests in therapies at various stages of development, advancing them through clinical trials and regulatory processes to deliver transformative treatment options to patients. To support its mission, AMAG needed a real-time data analytics platform for ERP data measurement, product analysis, forecasting, and revenue prediction. This platform required 24/7 availability and accessibility for a distributed user base.

  • *AMAG achieved 100% uptime availability in AWS, ensuring uninterrupted access to critical data analytics and reporting for improved productivity and user satisfaction.

AMAG’s Tableau analytics environment was hosted on on-premises servers, but rapid growth created several obstacles:

Data Growth
Increasing product lines caused a surge in data volumes, complicating reporting and analytics processes.

Complex Reporting
Daily reporting demands and compliance with HIPAA regulations became increasingly challenging.

Limited Scalability
Expanding CPU, memory, and storage required a lengthy procurement and implementation process, hindering business agility.

Downtime Risks
Power outages impacted access to critical services, disrupting business operations.

Rising User Demand
A growing number of users placed additional pressure on the system’s performance and availability.

Scaling the on-premises environment to address these challenges would have been prohibitively costly and time-intensive, limiting AMAG’s ability to meet its business goals.

The Solution

To overcome these challenges, AMAG partnered with AWS and PTP, an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner with Life Sciences Competency. Together, they transitioned the Tableau analytics environment to AWS, delivering scalability, enhanced performance, and seamless availability.

PTP designed and implemented a secure, HIPAA-compliant AWS environment, leveraging its PeakPlus™ Control for Cloud platform to manage infrastructure and ensure continuous monitoring and governance.

Key features of the solution included:

Scalability
Rapidly adding capacity to support growth without delays.

Improved Availability
Eliminating downtime caused by power issues or hardware limitations.

Enhanced Security
Ensuring compliance with HIPAA and other regulatory requirements.

User Access Anywhere
Allowing distributed teams to access analytics tools securely from any location.

The collaboration also integrated robust governance and compliance features, giving AMAG complete control over the reporting and analytics environment while mitigating security risks.

The Outcome

The migration to AWS delivered transformative results for AMAG Pharmaceuticals:

100% Uptime
Continuous availability ensures that users have uninterrupted access to critical analytics tools.

Scalability in Minutes
The AWS environment can scale to meet growth demands almost instantly, significantly improving agility.

Improved Productivity
Users can now create snapshots and revert to earlier versions in minutes, saving time and enhancing workflow efficiency.
