Bio-Rad busts slow scaling challenges and shortens change cycles to days rather than weeks
Overview
Healthier SAP change management
Bio-Rad couldn’t innovate in the way its business demanded due to slow, error-prone manual processes. After adopting ActiveControl to migrate to AWS Cloud, change cycles accelerated to days instead of months, supporting timelier and more effective business growth.
Flexibility
ActiveControl enabled and de-risked migration to AWS Cloud
Visibility
Real-time, holistic change tracking across SAP and select non-SAP applications
Accountability
Automated deployment and tracking while maintaining GxP compliance
A much more streamlined and efficient process for managing changes for our business. We can address issues quickly and meet audit requirements in a matter of minutes instead of days cross-checking various workbooks.

Challenge
Overcoming growth barriers
Existing approaches limited Bio-Rad Laboratories from scaling and adapting to urgent business needs. Manual processes created inefficiencies, wasted time and introduced errors.
Cumbersome tracking and change management processes caused delays and compliance issues.
Limited team visibility and poor tool integration blocked the collaboration needed for the business to scale quickly and effectively.
Solution
ActiveControl transforms SAP operations
Bio-Rad partnered with Basis Technologies to use ActiveControl for effective SAP change management. ActiveControl’s continuous deployment model gave teams real-time visibility into change status and lifecycles, helping them track progress more effectively and prioritize tasks better.
Integrations with ServiceNow and Jira enhanced team-wide visibility and capabilities, significantly reducing manual work, improving coordination between teams and ensuring compliance requirements were met.
Outcome
Change in days instead of weeks
By adopting CI/CD integration with ActiveControl, Bio-Rad became more agile and responsive to business demands. Automated tracking and reporting systems gave the company real-time insights to respond to audits, system changes and business requirements in minutes rather than days or weeks.
