Leading Biomedical Research Company

Accelerating Application Development: 4X Faster Front-End Delivery for Leading Biomedical Research Company          

A leading biomedical research company with legacy system limitations and overwhelmed IT resources partnered with Allata to accelerate critical application development. By deploying a team of four senior front-end developers with specialized Vue.js expertise, Allata delivered a fully functional geneticist application in just three months—a timeline that would have taken the client's internal team more than a year to achieve, representing a 4X improvement in development velocity.

OVERVIEW 

Our client faced a critical operational bottleneck. Their geneticists and pathologists were constrained by an inflexible legacy system that hindered efficiency and slowed case processing. Allata’s specialized front-end development team transformed this challenge into measurable progress. Within three months, Allata delivered a production-ready application that had been conceptualized but never executed. The engagement’s success immediately opened doors to additional opportunities, including UX design work, and AI work to intelligently process documents. 

Key Inmmediate Outcomes

THE CHALLENGE

The client operated with a monolithic application that served both geneticists and pathologists. While functional, this all-in-one system created significant operational friction—slow performance, difficult maintenance, and complex feature development that couldn’t keep pace with business needs—making operational efficiency even more critical for sustained growth. 

The company’s IT organization faced a dual challenge: an overwhelming workload and limited front-end development expertise. Multiple attempts to modernize their applications had stalled over a multi-year period, with projects starting and stopping as priorities shifted. The internal team simply couldn’t dedicate the necessary resources while maintaining existing systems and supporting daily operations. 

Every delay in system modernization directly affected the company’s ability to efficiently process diagnostic cases, resulting in slower case processing, and reduced revenue potential, while the inability to develop new functionality limited their competitive positioning in the rapidly evolving biomedical diagnostics market. 

Core Challenges

OUR SOLUTION 

Allata assembled a specialized team of senior front-end developers with proven Vue.js expertise, led by experienced project leadership. This team was specifically chosen to address the client’s immediate capacity constraints while bringing the technical skills their internal team lacked. The engagement was structured as a team-enabled model, allowing for flexible resource allocation and rapid deployment. 

Rather than implementing rigid development processes, the team adopted a kanban-style methodology designed for speed and stakeholder engagement. This approach enabled quick iterations, frequent demonstrations, and immediate feedback cycles that built confidence in the project’s trajectory. The team leveraged existing Figma wireframes for the geneticist workbench application while simultaneously working with business analysts to design the pathologist workbench application. 

The development process incorporated AI-assisted coding tools, including GitHub Copilot and advanced code generation platforms. Team members used these tools to accelerate screen development by converting Figma designs directly into functional code, significantly reducing manual coding time while maintaining quality standards. 

Solution Components

  • Dedicated senior front-end team with Vue.js specialization and project leadership 
  • Kanban for rapid delivery & stakeholder engagement 
  • AI-assisted development tools for accelerated code generation and screen development 
  • Flexible engagement model allowing for scope adjustments and additional backend support as needed 

THE RESULT  

In just three months, the Allata team transformed conceptual wireframes into a fully functional front-end application ready for user acceptance testing. This represented a dramatic acceleration compared to the client’s internal capabilities—work that would have taken their team over a year was completed in a quarter of the time, demonstrating clear 4X improvement in development. 

The successful execution rebuilt internal credibility for the IT organization. Business stakeholders expressed satisfaction with both the pace of progress and the quality of deliverables, leading to immediate contract extensions and expanded scope of discussions. 

Measurable Outcomes

State Transportation Agency

AI-Powered Data Discovery Gives State Transportation Agency a Clear Migration Path             

A state transportation agency faced a familiar challenge – critical operational data was locked inside three siloed construction management systems with no centralized platform or governance in place. Allata conducted a six-week, AI-enabled data discovery engagement on AWS managed services that focused on profiling over 550 tables to build a working proof of concept (POC) with SageMaker Unified Studio and generative AI tooling, to deliver a production-ready roadmap. The result: a validated architectural blueprint, prioritized data products, and a clear four-month path to a governed data lakehouse that positions the agency for faster migrations and smarter decisions.
