    UCB had outsourced management and development of their Qlik Sense data analytics solution platform called View360 for several years. As part of an ongoing strategy to take full ownership of their data systems, UCB contracted Bardess to migrate the View360 platform from an externally managed AWS environment into UCB's globally managed in-house Azure environment. That migration occurred about 1 year ago and its success has increased transparency, stability, and reliability of data refreshes. It also provided a faster, more responsive experience for users, and expanded self-service capabilities. UCB has used the insight gathered from the success of the migration to further strategize on how they would migrate additional data systems into their Azure environment.

The Merck team was able to redesign end-to-end architecture that included leveraging a modern data stack to establish foundational data products and Qlik Sense to rapidly build and align metrics across functional areas.
