Leveraging technology to transform and

streamline a manual process so that it

“there has to be a better, and easier, way to do this.”

A Boston-based hospital network had an extremely inefficient reporting process in compliance with the Tax Equity & Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA).

The Problem:

Hospitals required to have physicians complete semi-annual reports on the typical amount of hours they work and how those hours are spent

The hospital network was using a manual paper-based form distribution process

Administration staff would hand out, and then collect, the necessary forms and manually compile the data to create reports

Inefficient, time-consuming process with little visibility into data


Example 1: Automated Financial Reporting

The Solution:

Web-based application where physicians can fill out forms and hospital staff can generate reports

Streamlined and simplified the semi-annual process

Increased overall response rate and visibility into the data

Decreased amount of time and effort spent collecting and reporting on information


Example 1: Automated Financial Reporting

The legal department of a global consumer goods manufacturing company was experiencing inefficiencies in its manual contract management processes.

The Problem:

The manufacturing company was using a paper-based process to draft and review agreements, and manage contracts throughout their lifecycle

Employees were spending a lot of time collecting the necessary information and creating documents

Inefficient, time-consuming process

Little visibility into contracts after execution


Example 2: Reengineered Contract Management

The Solution:

Customized contract management system on a Microsoft SharePoint platform allows employees to develop, manage, and optimize contracts and related business relationships

Streamlined the contract management process

Shortened the once lengthy process


Example 2: Reengineered Contract Management
