World's 3rd largest pharmaceutical organization standardizes on ProvantisT across all R&D sites in Europe and North America
CONSHOHOCKEN, PA - May 3rd 2006 - - Instem, a leading global information solutions provider, announced today that global pharmaceutical company, sanofi-aventis, has signed a multi-million dollar, 500-user license deal to implement Provantis™ throughout Europe and North America.
With this choice, Global Drug Safety Evaluation at sanofi-aventis placed their confidence in Instem's organization, development strategy and ability to support a streamlined, global implementation of Provantis. The readiness of the Provantis 7 solution to fulfill the worldwide operational needs of the laboratories was a key factor in their decision, following evaluation of other alternatives.
Sanofi-aventis is deploying the Provantis™ data collection, management and reporting solution suite across sites in the UK, France, Germany and North America, and will be replacing a number of out-dated legacy systems and in-house developed solutions.
Provantis is a modern, fully integrated Windows-based solution, which enables data to be shared across every discipline of a toxicology laboratory. It addresses all the needs of the toxicology laboratory from compound receipt through to final report production.
Instem's VP Global Sales, Gregor Grant, comments "We are delighted that sanofi-aventis has made the decision to standardize on Provantis, proving yet again that Provantis continues to be the solution of choice for the world's leading R&D companies."
Sanofi-aventis has also purchased a comprehensive services package from Instem, which includes Project Management, Installation, Validation, Training and live roll out support. Sanofi-aventis is scheduled to go live with their first sites in Montpellier and Frankfurt early in 2007.
