INTRODUCTION
It’s hard for any organization to sustain success for a long period of time. To stay relevant, organizations have to periodically reinvent themselves. The introduction of the cloud set off a generation of reinvention, and now, the next wave of reinvention will be driven by data. Leaders need to be able to rely on data to make informed decisions, look around corners, and take meaningful action. Building a data strategy is imperative for organizations that want to stay relevant now, and in the future.
Be more agile
Today’s competitive, ever-changing business environment is complex and uncertain. Data helps inspire business-wide confidence while supporting your company’s ability to pivot quickly and flexibly in response to changing markets and circumstances. This agility is what enables data-driven organizations to avoid disruption by turning rapid change into an opportunity for insight and growth.
Vyaire Medical to meet soaring demand for scales on AWS ventilators
When demand for ventilators began to soar due to the COVID-19 pandemic, global respiratory care company Vyaire Medical found itself handling manufacturing volumes it never would have imagined just weeks before. The company saw its order volume suddenly increase by a factor of 20 when it received a U.S. government order for more than 20,000 ventilators.
“We are a company that’s dedicated to enabling and extending life, and we saw the need in the world explode in real time as the orders came in from across the globe,” says Ed Rybicki, global chief information officer of Vyaire.
If the pandemic had occurred two years earlier, Vyaire might have found it difficult to scale to meet the demand. But in 2018, the company had the foresight to update its patchwork technology infrastructure to reduce inefficiencies and enhance processes.
To build a modern analytics infrastructure, the company turned to Amazon Web Services (AWS). And when the world encountered an unprecedented need for ventilators due to COVID-19, Vyaire found its new technology environment could support the company’s manufacturing spike in a way its old system wouldn’t have been able to.
