Top Challenges

  • Inability to track changes & avoid duplicate entries
  • Desire to streamline data entry requirements for Product Managers
BioMarin’s Product Portfolio Development team faced significant challenges in tracking and managing various informational items related to Asset development due to their reliance on PowerPoint slide decks, Excel sheets, and other disparate tools. This approach led to inefficiencies, lack of a single source of truth, and difficulties in tracking changes and avoiding duplicate entries. The corporate mandate for a cloud-based, enterprise-level tool added urgency to their need for a reliable solution that could provide comprehensive reporting and streamline data entry for Product Managers.

OnePlan provided BioMarin’s PPD team with a robust, cloud-based platform that established a comprehensive Plan Hierarchy framework for tracking all informational items related to Asset development. By creating custom Plan Types, detailed reporting fields, and aesthetically pleasing input pages, OnePlan streamlined the tracking and management process. Integration with Power BI enabled comprehensive reporting, while a custom Excel export process facilitated the annual budget planning cycle. This scalable and adaptable solution allowed BioMarin to efficiently add new categories and reports, ultimately enhancing their data management and reporting capabilities.
