After assessing the tech stack and systems, a reliable architecture was developed to complement the legacy system and a suite of shared tools established streamlined efficiencies.

To accomplish this, a new version control plan featured frequent, immediate feedback and global collaboration. Configured CI/CD pipelines and automated cloud services tasks streamlined movement of code between environments, reducing the time from solution to production and operational expenses while making processes more predictable.

A uniform secret management plan greatly tightened security for teams who were previously unfamiliar with the tools and techniques; and dedicated servers and role management strategies have streamlined network access, creating additional layers of security across the full corporate network.

This work is just the start of Pfizer’s transformative journey. With 8th Light’s support, Pfizer not only enhanced reliability but aims to launch a robust knowledge management initiative (EQMS) that fosters best practices across teams and researchers. As the collaboration continues, we look forward to finding new opportunities to drive greater impact, ensuring Pfizer stays at the forefront of innovation.
