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
