As a clinical research organization (CRO), George Clinical works with clients in the healthcare industry to improve processes and protocols for drug testing, therapeutics, medical device testing, and more. With project managers operating across 13 entities around the world, the CRO struggled with inconsistent sets of client data. Plus, as George Clinical transitioned from a nonprofit to a commercial entity, its reporting requirements changed in a way that Microsoft Dynamics couldn't support. The CRO was forced to add steps to key processes and manually transfer data between systems.
