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.
14% of BIAL's workforce is using Article Galaxy, with 1,200 documents delivered per year.
All articles delivered within minutes.
