DESCRIPTION
With increasing consolidation, globalization and regulation in the life sciences industry, managed care organizations have an even greater need to successfully align business strategies, processes and systems across the enterprise to remain competitive. Investing in a revenue management solution that allows for integration of customer, contract, product, marketing, financial, reporting and analytical systems enables organizations to effectively: - Implement pricing strategies - Enforce deal analysis discipline - Track and align discounts with product sales - Manage “best price” and other government required terms - Manage contract sales opportunities and channel relationships - Execute timely, error-free trade incentive payments As a result, organizations reduce regulatory compliance risk, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce sales and operations costs to save millions annually. Achieving compliant price calculations across price types is an absolute necessity. While this is mandatory, value can also be extracted by the government pricing function to improve client relationships, increase product portfolio performance, and capture revenue enhancement through more informed price decisions.
