The Challenge
In today’s evolving regulatory landscape, Novineon provides critical support for medical device companies by preparing clinical evaluation reports and other pivotal regulatory documents. Because approximately 90% of the reports it creates are literature-based, accessing scientific journal articles is a critical step in its workflow.
Unfortunately, Novineon’s literature acquisition systems were outdated and inefficient. Key challenges included slow delivery times, poor quality documents, transactional complexities, and a centralized system in which only one person in the company could place the article orders.
Quick Stats: 125 hours or EUR 20,000 saved per 1,000 documents ordered annually.
