About The Customer
Chugai Pharmaceutical Co Ltd. is Japan’s leading biopharmaceutical company. A member of the Roche Group, Chugai’s mission is to add exceptional value through the creation of innovative medical products and services for the benefit of the medical community and human health around the world. Chugai Pharma Europe Ltd (CPE), is a subsidiary of Chugai Pharmaceutical Co Ltd, responsible for the European input to Chugai’s global product development pipeline. CPE is an integral part of developing product candidates through to Market.
The Challenge
At Chugai Pharmaceutical Co Ltd, three different tools were used to provide single sign-on (SSO), enterprise mobility management (EMM) and multifactor authentication (MFA) across the company’s European and US divisions — Chugai Pharma Europe, Ltd. With a limited IT staff in each location, management of these separate solutions created unnecessary strain and considerable expense. Looking to simplify IT processes and save money, the company first considered expanding its relationship with its existing SSO provider. The company was also looking to replace its existing MFA tool with a solution that leveraged users’ mobile devices. They needed a cloud-based solution that included SSO, MFA and EMM to protect Chugai’s intellectual property as well as the personal information of patients participating in their clinical trials.
The Solution
Chugai (Europe and North America) selected CyberArk Workforce Identity to replace three disconnected tools already in use in the company. Key to the decision was Workforce Identity’s ability to manage both web and on-premises app access. Chugai discovered CyberArk Identity because it was included in the Gartner Magic Quadrant, along with several competitive solutions. During the evaluation process, Howell was particularly impressed by CyberArk Identity’s on-premises App Gateway, which delivers secure remote access to internal web apps like SharePoint without the need for a VPN. With the CyberArk Identity App Gateway, companies can encrypt and tunnel secure connections to on-premises applications without a VPN or the need to open ports in the firewall. Whether apps are in the cloud or on-premises, users get secure one-click access, and IT gets policy-based control and visibility without having to configure endpoint devices.

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
