Medicines that change lives and make a difference
Making hearts healthier
Helping more people survive cancer
Helping people breathe more easily
How do we do this?

• We design the best ways for patients to take the medicine
• We produce the new medicine
• We make sure clinical trials can be carried out to the highest standards
• We continually improve formulations and processes

a hub for world-class medicines development
Sites not located in technology “hot spots”Some innovative programs in
science and informatics
Good business engagement in pockets
High spend relative to service levels and external
benchmarks
Not aligned with business; insufficient cost transparency
Skill gaps: technology, product management, client engagement
IT was critical to future business
success…
but far from being a credible or trusted
partner to the business
Some real strengths…
… however some significant deficits
Unhappy customers... too many handoffs, slow, confusing

Stabilize, Simplify, Innovate
A three year plan to transform Astra Zeneca IT
2015 Optimizing

Legacy model failed to perform well
Heavily outsourced to a large ‘ecosystem’ of external IT application and infrastructure third party suppliers Persistent issues: inflexible, insufficiently responsive and expensive
Lack of internal capability – no ownership for technology
Rationale for in-sourcing
9
In-sourcing improves performance by allowing us to: Achieve direct control over our IT operations
Drive improved knowledge transfer and retention Simplify support structures and drive clear execution
accountability
Achieve greater agility, improving responsiveness to business
Significantly reduce cost. We will no longer be funding duplicate management.
Insource where there is clear economic and strategic value to AZ
Global Technology centers expand AZ technical capability
10
Insourcing approachDevelop in-house IT capability in strategic locations at an attractive cost point
11
• Target network of Global Technology Centres (GTCs) at four locations – Chennai (India), Mexico (Guadalajara), China (Dalian) and Eastern Europe (location TBC)
• Chennai is our primary centre providing global technology services• 3 Satellite centres in Mexico, China and Eastern Europe providing near-shore and
language capabilities for key markets ~200 – 300 FTE in each centre
• Initial focus on establishing GTC Chennai centre.
• Site operational in August 2014, 300 FTE by end 2014, 1400 FTE by end 2015 and ~2300 FTE by end 2016
• 70+ key service lines now successfully transitioned
In-source wide range of IT development and maintenance activities, where there is clear economic and strategic value to AZ.
Complement with support of simplified supplier ecosystem

Improving connectivity
Simpler ways of working•Faster, cost effective IT changes•Stable, responsive and innovative IT services•Simpler choices for users•Harmonising and standardising data
• Smart IT as a global standard• Full network automation and monitoring• World class architecture in new sites• Significant expansion of Video Conferencing

Enhancing collaboration• Save $ and time with virtual meetings• Continued shift to “mobile first” strategy• Exploit cloud technologies• Streamline user workflow and transactions
Key lessons learned
• “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”. Fast paced delivery required a culture reboot -> Move to openness, smart risk taking and an entrepreneurial mind-set.
• Change management is critically important . Significant investment in stakeholder and IT employee engagement throughout the program. Proved to be a key success factor.
• Plan for success. We under estimated how successful our model would prove. At times in-sourcing demand far exceeded our ability to deliver.
• Robust governance is key. We invested significant effort in putting in place a robust governance processes. Even so we had to continually re-evaluate and strengthen these structures as the program progressed.
