For commercial pharma leaders, data’s true power is realized where decisions happen: at the edge.
Gilead built that connection, transforming global strategy into local execution.
Partnering with Axtria, Gilead restructured how commercial data is governed, delivered, and used, shifting from disconnected systems to reusable, insight-ready data assets that drive consistent decision-making across regions.
This transformation set a new standard for how life sciences organizations can accelerate insights, strengthen governance, and empower field teams with trusted, real-time intelligence.
Inside the White Paper
This paper, authored by Pranay Butala, Brad Sasaki, Anshul Mohan and Megha Kapadia explores:
- The Evolution of Data Management at Gilead
Gilead’s journey reflects the shift from siloed, manual data systems to a centralized, cloud-based foundation that enables cross-market accessibility, speed, and trust. With the introduction of its International Cloud Foundation (ICF), Gilead set the stage for a unified global platform to evolve alongside the business.
- From Data Lakes to Data Products
Traditional data systems store information, but data products deliver value. Designed for reuse and localization, they enabled Gilead’s affiliates to deploy global KPIs and logic while tailoring insights for each market, achieving “global consistency with local flexibility.”
- Building Last-Mile Connectivity
Axtria’s productized data architecture gave Gilead’s field teams near-real-time visibility into targeting, performance, and next-best actions, driving faster decision-making and building confidence across every level of the organization.
Results and Impact
- Deployed across more than eight regions with a unified data language.
- Significantly reduced data preparation time, accelerating analytics cycles.
- Increased trust and adoption among commercial teams through consistent KPIs.
- Established the foundation for AI-driven and next-best-action capabilities.
Gilead’s transformation shows how a productized data approach can bridge the gap between enterprise data platforms and on-the-ground commercial agility. With Axtria’s partnership, Gilead moved from managing data to mobilizing it, while creating the mindset for continuous innovation.
