Company Overview

Why Article Galaxy

BIAL adopted Article Galaxy’s document delivery platform to break down the barriers that stood between vital content sources and its people who rely on an efficient and unimpeded research content workflow.

The Challenge

BIAL has always had a scientific document delivery service in place. But lacking automation, the document delivery service was a manually-intensive process relying on a mediator.

Bial wanted to do more than improve information access for its team; it wanted a modern, end-to-end solution that could support its knowledge-driven business.

The Solution

BIAL deployed Article Galaxy for its easy, automated access to scientific content and content usage data.

The group no longer has to spend so much time manually preparing usage statistics and trying to understand users’ information behavior in order to make business decisions because all the required data is just a few clicks away.

In addition, the openness of the platform positively impacts the way BIAL’s researchers do their jobs.
