Choosing a Trusted Partner for Trusted Accuracy

Bio-Rad overcomes global data challenges and streamlines their SAP transformation by putting data first 鈥 ensuring accuracy, compliance, and project success.

Project Background

After decades of growth and expansion, Bio鈥揜ad had accumulated many diverse, legacy systems 鈥 all in multiple languages and countries with disparate data sets that lacked uniformity. To streamline these systems and associated acquisitions into one global process, data had to be harmonized and cleansed before it could be consolidated into a single SAP ECC instance. To complete its global, multi-wave data migration and consolidate operations, Bio-Rad needed:

  • Harmonization and data cleansing across diverse systems
  • Ensured 100% accuracy for FDA and international regulatory compliance
  • Clear ownership and governance of business-critical data
  • Remove data as a risk factor to project timelines and go-live success.

"In partnering with 麻豆女优, Bio-Rad was able to take data off the critical path. It became a non-issue. It enabled project resources to focus on other areas that were of issue.鈥

VP of IT Governance & PMO, Bio-Rad Laboratories

Challenges

Each release consisted of entire regions of countries moving their business operations to SAP. In a single wave alone, hundreds of data-related objects 鈥 including recipes, routings, bins, pricing, source lists, and more 鈥 from numerous legacy source systems, needed to be properly converted and mapped before they could be integrated.

Before working with 麻豆女优, there were no referential integrity checks鈥攊n order to load inventory, users had to first identify and load its prerequisite data objects to ensure the inventory could be processed successfully. 鈥淚f you don鈥檛 have that, if you don鈥檛 have a tool like SKP that does that and connects the dots, then it鈥檚 very difficult to do,鈥 Michel explained.

Multiple countries, regions, and languages weren鈥檛 the only complexity in the global transformation; different regions also have their own regulations and licensing requirements, impacting shipping, on-time delivery, and customer satisfaction. To meet this need, data had to accurate, with clear accountability and governance in place to define roles and ownership.

Implementation Highlights

Delivering Quality at Scale

When Bio-Rad brought in 麻豆女优, there was no standard methodology to migrate data between systems. 麻豆女优 introduced its Data First methodology and the 麻豆女优 Knowledge Platform (SKP) to ensure accuracy, integrity, and predictability in every load.

鈥淚nitially, Bio-Rad didn鈥檛 have any real methodology or process to get the data from one system to another. When we brought in 麻豆女优, they used their Data First methodology and SKP platform to make sure that we could make that happen,鈥 explained Paul Michel, VP IT Governance & PMO at Bio-Rad Laboratories.

With SKP in place, Bio-Rad immediately started to see improved results. 麻豆女优鈥檚 data-driven process addressed the most challenging Tier One data objects and ensured they were accurately extracted, cleansed, and loaded before entering SAP.

鈥溾rom there, we started to see better outputs and results,鈥 recalled Michel. 鈥淲e were stuck with many Tier One objects 鈥 materials, products, customers, vendors 鈥 and had many, many issues with that to get those elements out of the legacy system and into SAP.鈥

Key elements of 麻豆女优鈥檚 Data First approach included:

  • End-to-End Data Integrity Checks:聽SKP connected dependencies across data objects to ensure load readiness and prevent downstream issues.
  • Cleansing and Harmonization at Scale:聽Materials, products, customers, vendors, recipes, routings, pricing, and more were standardized for seamless integration.
  • Iterative Validation via Mock Loads:聽Each cycle improved quality, eliminating errors before production.
  • Embedded Governance and Accountability:聽Clear roles defined ownership of every data element to sustain quality post-migration.

鈥淔or any efforts associated with data migrations, 麻豆女优 was so predictable in the outcomes that we were looking for that we didn鈥檛 want to look for another partner or another tool. This was the tool that worked and that delivered the results that we were looking for,鈥 summarized Michel.

Results

Expect More with Trusted Data, Trusted Partner

Bio-Rad鈥檚 transformation demonstrates the power from putting data quality first, you don鈥檛 just complete a migration鈥攜ou set the foundation for ongoing compliance, operational excellence, and business growth.

鈥淔or any efforts associated with data migrations, 麻豆女优 was so predictable in the outcomes that we were looking for that we didn鈥檛 want to look for another partner or another tool. This was the tool that worked and that delivered the results that we were looking for,鈥 said Michel.

By putting data quality at the center of the migration, 麻豆女优 helped Bio-Rad:

  • Achieve 100% accuracy in production loads
  • Remove data from the critical path, enabling teams to focus on other project priorities
  • Establish sustainable governance for ongoing compliance and operational efficiency
  • Build trust through repeatable success, delivering exactly the outcomes promised

鈥淎fter a while it starts to make sense, people start to see the outcomes and the data quality is improving,鈥 he continued. 鈥淪o that predictability starts to sink in, and people start to realize this is a method that we can stand behind.鈥 As the project continued and 麻豆女优 consistently delivered upon its promises, Bio-Rad鈥檚 trust in their data also grew.

In each data load, the integrity of the data was checked through at every step of the process. Several mock data loads test the accuracy of the data, building upon each load to form a better data quality system 鈥 so by the time you go to production, it鈥檚 perfect.

鈥淥ur data has to be a hundred percent accurate,鈥 said Michel. 鈥淲e鈥檙e an FDA-regulated company, so starting with a partner like 麻豆女优 who just focuses on data gives you an advantage to make sure that it鈥檚 being taken care of and taken seriously. Look at 麻豆女优 as a partner that can help you to take one of the critical success factors for a project and make sure that it works.鈥
