Customer Case StudySolutia 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“ Art HuggardDirector of Digital Strategy, Solutia
