Approach
- Aligned the Key Stakeholders – Established a strategy and detailed plan to focus on transparent communication, robust training, and a change management strategy to roll out the global solution

Impact
- Improved Management of Operational Data – Complex, disparate systems were sunset in order to develop an enterprise-wide approach to manage operational data
- Business Process Improvement – Significant business process redefinition for each division offered improved efficiencies and created a cohesive process across functions
- Visibility into the Drug Development Pipeline – Created an end-to-end platform that provides visibility to the drug development pipeline from early stage research through late stage development
