Accelerating Clinical Enrollment Forecasting While Reducing Platform Costs by 12x : 510.818.9480 : info@kpipartners.com : www.kpipartners.com — Senior Technical Project Manager This marks a substantial improvement in both efficiency and cost. The pattern is working very well, alleviating our traffic challenges and allowing us to fully embrace incremental runs. CLIENT A le ading global biopharmaceutical services organization managing multi-study clinical programs. Study teams rely on enrollment forecasts to manage timelines and mitigate delivery risk. OVERVIEW Cl inical forecasting directly influences study execution. When dashboards lag or data discrepancies surface, decision-making slows and operational risk increases. The organization engaged KPI Partners to modernize its Forecast Data Product within its SNAP analytics platform. KPI redesigned the legacy ingestion and transformation framework using Databricks to improve reliability, enhance scalability, and reduce platform costs while strengthening trust in clinical reporting. : 510.818.9480 : info@kpipartners.com : www.kpipartners.com CHALLENGES SOLUTION OVERVIEW Compute-heavy bulk reloads drove high platform costs Mul tiple pipelines increased operational complexity Source deletes require recurring reconciliation Pipeline timeouts demanded manual support Data inconsistencies reduced forecast trust KPI Partners led a full redesign of the Forecast Data Product to establish a scalable, cost-efficient clinical analytics foundation. The team transitioned from bulk reload patterns to incremental processing, incorporated hard delete logic to prevent discrepancies between source and target systems, consolidated orchestration workflows, enabled parallel processing across datasets, implemented metadata-driven controls to support long-term scalability, and aligned the architecture with SNAP data platform standards. Implemented secure Oracle data extraction with optimized landing architecture E stablished metadata-driven load controls to govern ingestion and processing Designed a layered data architecture with raw, transformation, and curated analytics layers C onsolidated workflows to reduce orchestration complexity Ce ntralized credential management to strengthen security controls B uilt a scalable framework that supports onboarding additional clinical datasets without structural redesign ARCHITECTURE OUR APPROACH : 510.818.9480 : info@kpipartners.com : www.kpipartners.com KEY TECHNOLOGIES Databricks Workflows De lta Live Tables Oracle JDBC connectivity AV RO-based ingestion Me tadata-driven load control framework A zure Key Vault SNAP data platform architecture BUSINESS IMPACT Optimized compute utilization that previously drove elevated Azure consumption R educed bulk processing time by 85%, accelerating data availability Improved incremental load performance by 44%, enhancing forecast freshness C onsolidated pipelines from six to two, simplifying orchestration E liminated recurring mandatory reload cycles through embedded delete logic Strengthened forecast data reliability with consistent source alignment Achieved complete elimination of production timeouts and manual intervention Architectural Redesign KPI resolved structural inefficiencies instead of replicating legacy patterns Incremental-First Processing Change-based logic eliminated heavy reload cycles Built for Scale Metadata-driven controls enable rapid dataset expansion Clinically Aligned The solution supports real-world forecasting workflows Disciplined Execution KPI delivered measurable performance and cost gains without added complexity WHY THIS WORKED?
