Challenge
In order to prepare for business growth and FDA compliance demands, Human Genome Sciences needed better access to mission-critical data and a sound plan to invest in new technologies and move away from inefficient MS Excel spreadsheets and manual processes.

Solution
Invest in an ERP system to link processes from every aspect of the business from finance through procurement, manufacturing inventory and quality management. Clarkston recommended a phased implementation with well-defined processes around validation, compliance, and Quality Assurance. This approach mitigated risk and reduced organizational impact.

Benefits
The fully integrated and validated SAP solution allows real-time access to data across departments, while meeting accessibility regulations as set forth by FDA. Additionally, the automation of bar code functions and elimination of paper-based systems increases accuracy, optimizes dispense operations and weigh-out functions, and averts significant cost. Business benefits include:

		75% reduction in time spent on invoice reconciliation
		Improved procurement reconciliation and optimized warehouse space
		30% reduction of raw materials on hand
		90% cost reduction for potential product recalls with integrated product lot genealogy
