Global Pharmaceutical Company Expects to Save $2M Annually with Automated Reports
The IT Lab of a global pharmaceutical company is responsible for evaluating new technologies to determine viability for the entire enterprise. Due to increasing business pressures from patent expirations, the Lab is tasked to find solutions to reduce time-to-market by running projects more efficiently. Optimizing staff allocation is currently difficult because obtaining resource allocation information is a cumbersome manual effort. To solve this problem, the Lab deployed Microsoft® Office Visio® 2007 to automate reports to better analyze their project and resource data. With over 1,000 project managers from R&D to Marketing, the team expects large scale efficiency gains to be generated by these new reports. Based on the success of the initial pilot program, the lab expects the company to save over $2M annually on project status tracking and staff allocation efforts.
