WINNING TOGETHER

IT & Enterprise Technology in Action

Healthcare Tech Transformation
More Success Stories

An enterprise healthcare technology company was scaling rapidly but struggling with fragmented IT investments, unclear priorities, and misalignment between tech initiatives and business goals. Leadership lacked a unified roadmap, and IT spend was growing without measurable returns on investment.

The engagement began with thorough discovery through stakeholder interviews and system analysis, establishing a clear view of current capabilities and organizational gaps. Strategic initiatives were then identified, prioritized, and aligned with business objectives to guide investment decisions. The final phase delivered a detailed 12-36 month roadmap with specific operating model recommendations to support execution and drive measurable outcomes.

The transformation delivered substantial business impact:

 

  • Reduced IT project backlog by 40% through strategic prioritization
  • Aligned over $20M in IT investments directly to business growth objectives
  • Cut IT operating costs by 18% via consolidation and process optimization

Manufacturing Digital Excellence

A global manufacturing firm struggled to align technology investments across disparate business units, creating redundancies and capability gaps. Catalant Experts conducted a cross-enterprise assessment and developed a consolidated technology portfolio strategy that established shared services while maintaining business unit flexibility. The roadmap identified $15M in duplicative spending and created a three-year digital transformation strategy that unified previously siloed projects into a cohesive business capability model aligned with strategic growth priorities.

Beverage Company ERP Consolidation

A global beverage company managed nearly 20 disparate ERP systems across its US wholesaler network, creating inefficiencies and integration challenges. Catalant Experts conducted comprehensive stakeholder interviews and developed a consolidated IT strategy with business process re-engineering recommendations, leading the project management effort through completion. The transformation delivered $50 million in cost avoidance for wholesalers and over $3 million in recurring annual labor savings while simplifying the technical footprint.
