The Challenge
Helix Pharma's research and commercial teams were operating from 12 separate data systems—each with its own schema, access controls, and reporting cadence. Critical decisions were being made from data that was 2–4 weeks stale, creating regulatory risk and slowing drug commercialization timelines.


Our Approach
Lumina's data engineering team conducted a 2-week architecture audit, mapping all 12 systems and designing a unified data model. We identified 4 high-priority data domains - clinical, regulatory, commercial, and supply—and sequenced integration by business impact.
The Solution
We built a cloud-native Enterprise Data Lake on AWS, ingesting data from all 12 sources in real time. A semantic layer translates raw data into business-ready metrics, while role-based access controls ensure compliance with FDA and GDPR requirements. Reporting time dropped from 3 weeks to under 4 minutes.
PM
"Our researchers now have a single source of truth. The time savings alone justified the investment in the first quarter."
