Challenge

A global pharmaceutical company suspected overreliance on external consultants for work that could be performed by internal teams. Limited visibility into SOW spend and role allocation led to duplicated efforts, project misalignment, and unnecessary costs.

Solution

The organization leveraged TDX to analyze over 1,000 SOWs, uncovering spend patterns and role distribution across engagements. TDX identified that approximately 30% of spend was allocated to project and change management roles—areas where internal capability already existed—highlighting opportunities to realign work and reduce external dependency.

Impact

• 500+ hours of manual analysis eliminated through automated SOW evaluation
• Identified a clear path to strategic workforce alignment and multimillion-dollar savings
• Improved allocation of work between internal teams and external suppliers
• Increased control and visibility over consulting spend
