These decisions will improve Gilead’s drug pipeline by giving insights across a series of data, from biomarker discovery through manufacturing and clinical trial recruitment.

With AWS onboard, Gilead’s research and development team will be able to strengthen their innovation and make informed decisions with valuable insights.

Gilead’s focus is on improving priority areas such as clinical program and study design, patient experience, and centralized statistical adaptive monitoring, which helps Gilead quickly identify and address potential issues related to the management of clinical trials.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

AWS will also help in transforming Gilead’s workloads for its ERP project to implement SAP S/4HANA throughout the organization. The implementation will enhance important processes including supply chain, finance, operations, and commercial sales across all therapeutic areas and business units.

Furthermore, through the AWS cloud, Gilead will be able to shorten its hardware refresh cycles, increase testing and speed of delivery, and enable improved business planning. Similarly, Gilead will be able to run its ERP system more efficiently by using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance types.
