Use Case: Global Ordering and Scientific Requests
This leading life sciences company has presence in more than 100 countries and more than 100,000 employees. The company operates nearly two dozen Research & Development sites.
Business Problem
The pace of innovation and R&D are governed by limits on information sharing and collaboration that adversely affect the progression of R&D projects along the value chain. Long cycle times lead to reduced productivity, operational excellence, and innovation. Collaboration with external organizations is limited by the inability to share information and compounds. The immediate challenge centered around the management of millions of compounds with five fulfillment sites across dozens of laboratories using disjointed information systems.
