A Top 10 Preclinical CRO Selects Microsoft Dynamics AX and Systems Advisors Group

Seattle, WA – June 29, 2011

Systems Advisors Group, the leading provider of Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP solutions for project-driven organizations, has announced that it has been selected to implement Microsoft Dynamics AX for a Top 10 preclinical Contract Research Organization (CRO). Systems Advisors Group will work with the CRO to deploy Microsoft Dynamics AX as the organization’s new global Financial and Project Management software system, which will be used by all of the CRO’s entities in the United States and Europe.

The CRO provides product safety toxicological research, bioanalytical, and formulation services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, agrochemical, and food products industries, as well as manufacturing support for clinical trials. They have global operations with locations in Europe and the United States.

“We are in the process of integrating our various operations to create a seamless global organization with globally managed service lines and support functions”, explained the customer’s project manager. “A properly configured ERP software platform is a critical enabler of this strategy. We chose Microsoft Dynamics AX based on its flexible platform and strong global functionality. We also evaluated several Microsoft Dynamics AX implementation partners before selecting Systems Advisors Group. Their background and experience in working with project-driven organizations like ours was a key differentiator as we compared them to other Dynamics AX providers.”

“We’re very pleased that we have been selected to help them complete this important business initiative”, said Rita Clinton, US Country Manager for Systems Advisors Group. “Our focus and experience in working with project based organizations was clearly a value-add for this client as they evaluated several Dynamics AX consultancies. Our team is excited to welcome them to the family, and looks forward to beginning this project in the very near future.”

Systems Advisors Group and the CRO will begin working together immediately to replace a number of disparate systems with a single global business system. Microsoft Dynamics AX will be used as the organization’s new global platform for Financial Management, Supply Chain Management, and Project Management, including the Advanced Projects solution developed for Dynamics AX by Adeaca. By migrating all of their operations onto Microsoft Dynamics AX, the CRO plans to improve global efficiencies, improve visibility and financial controls across their global enterprise, and drive process improvements through the introduction of global standards and best practices.
