at their business challenges in a more
strategic way, and provided them with an
overall solution set that will help them as
they grow, says Daniello.
Together, Peloton and this leading
biopharmaceutical company developed
a strategic solution road map that was
in alignment with the CFOs and teams
vision for world-class performance

processes, providing immediate relief to
some of the companys pain points around
