Biopharma Giant Streamlines Infrastructure with archiveIQ® Solution by Sikich Innovation LABS 

A $40 billion global diagnostic and contract manufacturing company assigned a global initiative to harmonize Quality processes into their Global instance of Quality Management System (QMS). In effort to reduce costs and redundancy, the client made a key decision to archive data from their legacy systems. This approach was taken to avoid a complex data migration into the global system.  

The client was seeking a reliable archive solution to address this challenge and they discovered archiveIQ®, a proprietary software designed by Sikich Innovation LABS. The team was impressed with archiveIQ®’s rich user experience, which allowed them to archive all legacy systems, seamlessly, in one place. Ultimately, they engaged Sikich Innovation LABS to license the archiveIQ® application and perform this critical product implementation. 

Key Components and Functionality Delivered 

Sikich’s flagship enterprise archive solution, archiveIQ®, was successfully deployed and implemented for the client. Four legacy QMS systems were smoothly archived into archiveIQ®, including all pertinent organizational reporting data. archiveIQ®’s robust interface was well received by the client’s users. Team admins were impressed with the tool’s ability to set up user access and easily control security levels. 

Post-archive, the client was able to fully decommission four legacy QMS systems. This effort created significant cost savings through product licensing fee structures offered by Sikich and significantly reduced infrastructure costs. Additionally, the archiveIQ® product implementation helped realize IT resource efficiencies where future system maintenance and administration required much less effort. 

Sikich implementation specialists worked closely to support the client throughout the project to deliver their go-live on time and within budget. Following initial go-live, the client decommissioned additional systems leveraging archiveIQ’s repository, including a Document Management System (DMS) outside of their QMS.

Key Business Benefits 

Simplified System Decommission: The implementation allowed the client to remove outdated system software to protect and mitigate risk, while also alleviating high costs required to maintain them. 

Centralized Access to Data: All four legacy systems are located in a single instance of archiveIQ®. This allows access to legacy data in one place, with room for additional data archives in the future. The client can now assign fewer, more focused resources to preserve this single system. 

Low Maintenance & Cost Efficiency: The company’s new system requires nominal upkeep and affords significant cost reductions related to licensing and infrastructure maintenance fees.
