Document Management: Vital Path And Purdue Pharma L.P. Win 2007 Process Innovation Award For IT Effectiveness & Business Benefit

Vital Path, the market leader in content integration and migration solutions and Purdue Pharma L.P. have won a 2007 Process Innovation Award for the creative deployment of PathBuilder.

The Process Innovation Awards program presents innovation solution honors to companies that focus on the return of significant business benefit and effectiveness of their technology solutions.

To date, document management systems have traditionally been departmental solutions operating as islands of information spread over several locations. However, in the complex world of pharmaceuticals, it is imperative that the various departmental solutions function as one comprehensive enterprise repository of information. By using PathBuilder, Purdue now has access to all content from a single sign-on, without investing in an expensive custom migration solution or having to scrap existing systems.

Vital Path and Purdue were selected by an independent panel of industry experts based on process improvements that led to gains in at least one of the following areas: productivity, profitability, ability to adapt to market conditions, or competitive standing/market share.

Enterprise Innovator, a premier publication focused on technology innovation in the enterprise www.enterpriseinnovator.com, sponsored the 2007 Process Innovation Awards, which were created by Kinetic Information LLC and are now in their 11th year.

"We are honored to sponsor such a coveted award program and chose to be part of the 2007 series because it rewards innovative enterprise applications that achieve business benefit, and illuminates such an important area of information technology expertise for our readers," stated Harold Abraham, Deputy Editor, EnterpriseInnovator.com.
