Leading Pharmacy Chain Partners with Striim to Modernize Mission-Critical Prescription Data Infrastructure on Google Cloud

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 29, 2025 — A leading pharmacy chain with close to 10,000 stores is embarking on a multi-year transformation in partnership with Striim Inc., a leader in real-time data integration and analytics. By leveraging Striim’s platform, the pharmacy chain aims to migrate its custom-built, monolithic, centralized pharmacy management system into native Google Cloud services, addressing key business challenges and enhancing operational efficiency.

The pharmacy chain’s centralized pharmacy management system currently relies on a legacy architecture that supports a multi-billion-dollar business and life-critical prescription operations. To address limitations of this infrastructure—such as limited scalability—Striim delivers a modern, cloud-based solution that supports continuous data streaming and transformation. This approach ensures the pharmacy chain can maintain uninterrupted service as it migrates critical data and workflows to Google Cloud over the next several years.

Striim’s platform is uniquely positioned to meet the pharmacy chain’s needs, thanks to its ability to integrate seamlessly with legacy data sources and rapidly transform and deliver data to highly available and scalable Google Cloud services. This modernized data ecosystem will set the stage for future innovations, giving the pharmacy chain more flexibility to adapt to evolving market demands. Additionally, this new modernized architecture will enable the pharmacy chain to support real-time analytics and in-stream data enrichment to optimize pharmacy operations and provide tailored experiences for their customers.

Striim’s robust data integration and streaming capabilities will enable the pharmacy chain to:

  • Successfully Migrate Centralized Pharmacy Management System Products to Google Cloud Spanner: Working with Striim, the pharmacy chain gains the scalability and agility needed to manage critical pharmacy operations at enterprise scale.
  • Streamline Prescription Data Flows: Striim eliminates operational bottlenecks, reducing complexity and enhancing overall efficiency across pharmacy workflows.
  • Leverage a Flexible, Highly Scalable, Cloud-Native Architecture: Employing microservices supports seamless integration of future value-added services, accelerating innovation. Striim leverages a highly available, multinode architecture designed for seamless scalability, ensuring both exceptional resiliency and high availability to support continuous business growth and evolving data demands.
  • Support Complex Architectures and Real-Time Updates: Striim supports a bi-directional data flow ensuring that all environments receive timely updates whenever changes occur both in the existing legacy architecture and in the new modernized Cloud-based architecture during the migration process. Additionally, Striim has a unique capability to support bifurcation of existing data structures to normalize and denormalize data in-flight, supporting one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many use cases.

Nadim Antar, Striim’s Chief Revenue Officer, shared his thoughts on the partnership: “It’s an honor to work alongside this Fortune 10 pharmacy chain as they modernize their core data infrastructure, away from legacy technologies like Oracle to cloud-native platforms like Spanner. Our real-time streaming platform and advanced data integration capabilities will help them adapt quickly in a dynamic market. We look forward to supporting their continued success as they evolve their prescription services.”
