Pfizer needed to centralize scientific and operational data, accelerate research and manufacturing decisions with AI, and complete a large-scale cloud transformation quickly enough to support medicine and vaccine delivery at global scale.
Reported impact
Pfizer used AWS and AI to support treatment of more than 1.3 billion people, save tens of millions of dollars annually, move from 10 percent cloud to 80 percent cloud-based infrastructure, and pursue a target of launching 19 medicines and vaccines in 18 months.
Pfizer built a data-and-AI foundation on AWS to make research data easier to find and turn it into faster scientific decisions. The company centralized its data, created standard platforms, and built a secure global cloud foundation, then worked with AWS to create the Scientific Data Cloud, which aggregates data from hundreds of laboratory instruments so scientists can search it more easily. On top of that data layer, Pfizer built VOX, a generative-AI solution that uses large language models on Amazon SageMaker and Amazon Bedrock to accelerate research, predict product yield, and help teams deliver more medicines to patients. The same AWS foundation also supplied on-demand compute during COVID-19 and supported a rapid migration of applications, databases, and servers, connecting cloud modernization with data accessibility and AI-driven R&D workflows.
Data from hundreds of laboratory instruments is aggregated into Pfizer's Scientific Data Cloud, where scientists can search it more easily; that centralized data foundation then feeds VOX, which uses Amazon SageMaker and Amazon Bedrock to generate research insights and product-yield predictions.
