Transcript Customer Case Study Solutia

Customer Case Study
Solutia
Customer Profile

The pharmaceutical division of Solutia, a specialty chemical company
with more than $2 billion in annual sales and 6,000 employees,
automated its data collection process for clinical trials, resulting in
shorter and more efficient clinical trials
The Situation

Axio Research, a Solutia subsidiary, wanted to move away from paper
based clinical trials because they are difficult to manage, expensive, and
time-consuming
The Solution

Solutia developed a solution that uses InfoPath 2003 to collect clinical
trial data on Tablet PCs. The InfoPath forms are stored on a Windows
SharePoint Services site and the data is submitted electronically to a
SQL Server database using BizTalk 2002
Benefits



Expected 50 percent reduction in setup time for each trial
Fewer work hours required per study, potentially allowing Axio to
complete 50 percent more studies
Fewer data collection/transcription errors to investigate
“We anticipate that InfoPath
will not only speed up the
flow of information, but also
reduce errors, saving
everyone a significant
amount of time and money“
