Moderna: Accelerating Biomedical Innovation through Unified Data and Integration
About the Client
Business Opportunity
With rapid global growth and an expanding R&D pipeline, Moderna faced increasing complexity across its enterprise systems. Manual data management and onboarding processes were slowing agility, and siloed information across HR, finance, procurement, and R&D systems limited visibility and efficiency.
At the same time, Moderna was planning a major ERP transition from NetSuite to SAP — a move that required seamless integration and zero disruption to ongoing operations.
Atturra Solution
Atturra partnered with Moderna to design and implement an enterprise-grade integration and data management platform using Boomi AtomSphere and Boomi Master Data Hub.
The solution established a unified data foundation across critical business systems — including Workday, SAP, Concur, Solium, and Moderna’s in-house Drug Design Studio.
Key highlights included:
- Deployment of 200+ integrations across core applications and cloud environments.
- Implementation of an Employee Master Data Hub enabling automated onboarding, provisioning, and access control.
- A cloud-native architecture ensuring security, scalability, and compliance across regulated environments.
“Moderna’s five-year relationship with Atturra insured that our Boomi integration processes and overall data integrity were ready for the shocks and hypergrowth we experienced while working on a vaccine to help address the pandemic. Solid data integration supported our need to achieve many years of growth in a single year. Atturra’s Boomi experts helped make us integration superheroes.”
