Vorsite Streamlines Pharmaceutical Firm’s Grant Disbursement Process
The world’s largest pharmaceutical company needed to streamline its grant approval and
disbursement process in order to stay competitive. Each year, millions of dollars in research grants
and physician stipends must be managed for optimal response time while ensuring that all related
documentation was properly tracked and archived in accordance with government regulations.
Solving this problem was not easy. Information had been stored using disparate systems and
processes. Employee and financial information was stored in SAP. Documentum was used
for document management and most end-user groups employed SharePoint to store request
justification documents and execute other collaboration activities. Simply obtaining a disbursement
of funds required the use of three completely different systems.
