About Coadun

Harmonise your SCE with confidence.

Coadun is a GxP-ready, open-source-enabled Statistical Computing Environment (SCE) transformation service. We help organizations unify SAS, existing systems, and open-source technologies (R, Python, Posit) into a single, governed operating model that's scalable and suited to both GxP and non-GxP workflows.

  • Expert Delivery

    Delivered by experts from Achieve Intelligence and Jumping Rivers.

  • Open Source

    Tailored open source solutions without compromising compliance.

Challenges

The Challenges of Harmonising an SCE

Operational integrity cannot be compromised, but compliance should not be a barrier to innovation. Many organizations today face similar challenges and a widening gap between their existing infrastructure and evolving analytical requirements:

Demand

Growing demand for R and Python capabilities that existing systems cannot support.

Fragmentation

Inconsistencies from fragmented tools and siloed workflows across teams.

Auditability

Difficulty maintaining end-to-end auditability and resilient source control.

Resistance

Navigating resistance from users who don't want or cannot imagine change.

Compliance

Uncertainty around adopting open source within regulated processes.

Expectations

Balancing stakeholder expectations across business, operations, and user requirements.

Automation

Manual and tedious processes that cannot be automated in the existing system.

Governance

Understanding organisational usage to determine which components to migrate, maintain, or retire.

Our Process

Structured SCE Transformation

Delivered collaboratively by Achieve Intelligence and Jumping Rivers, Coadun provides a structured step-by-step delivery plan and execution support for the lifecycle of your enterprise analytics environment, shaped to your organisation's requirements.

01

Discovery

We assess your current state to ensure the delivery plan is grounded in reality, developing a clear migration roadmap aligned to your governance model.

  • Connecting with key stakeholders to ensure business goals align with user needs.
  • Evaluating existing governance and capabilities against desired outcomes.
  • Outlining validation and compliance strategy.
02

Design

We design an implementation plan for your enterprise SCE solution that factors in the user needs captured during discovery, existing IT requirements, and organisational workflows.

  • Mapping integration points with existing systems and technical specifications.
  • Integrating compliance features for auditing and repeatability.
  • Reviewing existing workflows, SAS to R transitions, and workflow migrations.
03

Deploy

We deploy the SCE and bring the system live for pilot migrations, onboarding and system testing to ensure a robust, compliant environment.

  • Building and testing prototypes within your infrastructure.
  • Establishing package access and management Python and R workflows.
  • Guiding user onboarding and essential upskilling.

Beyond Deployment

Providing long-term support, incremental upgrades, and system updates.

Delivering upskilling and training for your teams to confidently handle new environments.

Developing and testing R or Python packages for use in GxP and non-GxP environments.

Managing the ongoing migration of legacy SAS code to R and Python ecosystems.

Why Coadun

Overcoming Challenges Through Design

The team behind Coadun brings together enterprise architecture, compliance strategy, SAS expertise, and open-source engineering into one coordinated delivery model. We provide the comprehensive skillset that organisations often lack internally when undertaking significant migrations.

Intersection of SAS and Open-Source Expertise

The Challenge: Finding vendors that comprehend both legacy SAS requirements and the nuances of the modern open-source landscape.

The Coadun Approach: Teams and ways of working are harmonised under the new enterprise environment. Through the collaboration of Achieve Intelligence and Jumping Rivers, Coadun delivers both. We supplement internal knowledge gaps to guarantee a complete and robust migration, architecting a bridge between your existing systems and modern R/Python/Posit environments.

Harmonised Ecosystem

Compliance Built-in, Never Retrofitted

The Challenge: Uncertainty around adopting open source within highly regulated processes and maintaining end-to-end auditability.

The Coadun Approach: In regulated environments, open source is only as powerful as it is stable and repeatable. We don't bolt compliance onto a finished platform. Reproducibility, automation, and auditability are woven into the foundational architecture from day one, meaning validation requirements are met by design.

Compliance by Design

Transforming Teams, Not Just Tech

The Challenge: Navigating cultural resistance to change and aligning divergent user expectations across the business.

The Coadun Approach: Stakeholders have been heard, working to mitigate cultural resistance. Enterprise architecture, compliance strategy, legacy migration, and user enablement are delivered as one accountable service. We recognise that the true value of an SCE transformation comes from people changing how they work.

Transparent Transformation

More Than Infrastructure Installation

The Challenge: Balancing stakeholder expectations across business, operations, and technical constraints while retiring older tools.

The Coadun Approach: Infrastructure installation is not the same as enterprise adoption. We architect plans and solutions that integrate natively with your existing workflows rather than just delivering technology. A practical balance is found between competing business, technological, user, and validation requirements, paving the way for sustainable innovation.

Strategic Integration

Who is this for?

Coadun is designed for:

  • Pharma and life sciences organisations.
  • Regulated industries with strong governance and GxP requirements.
