Business & Decision is one of the few companies to achieve certification on the Oracle Accelerators for Life Sciences. These accelerators will help Life Sciences companies accelerate time to market to drive profitable innovation, and optimize the demand chain to deliver quality product to customers under constant pressure to reduce costs and meet regulatory requirements.

Business & Decision has evolved the Standard Oracle Business Accelerator solution for Life Sciences and developed its own Life Sciences Accelerator solution. We have more closely defined the foundation functionality needed in Oracle's standard E-Business Suite Business Flow Accelerators and incorporated the solution into our regulated approach and methodology. The Business & Decision solution includes Validation and Compliance Accelerator Templates. This has resulted in the creation of a comprehensive business solution for rapidly growing Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology and Medical Device companies.

The standard solution from Business & Decision includes the following software extensions and services:

• Configuration of the Oracle E-Business Suite using the Oracle Business Accelerator Process Flows to meet sector and regulatory specific requirements,
• Five customer specific forms,
• Eleven data conversions,
• Full documentation in accordance with regulatory / validation requirements (e.g. Quality Plan, User Requirements / Functional Specifications, Test Scenarios and Template Test Scripts etc),
• Document templates for client use (e.g. Validation Plan and Report, User Acceptance Test Plan etc).

Business & Decision is a Global Oracle Platinum Partner for Oracle E-Business Suite. This is the highest level of partnership and acknowledges our long relationship with Oracle, our international implementation capabilities and the depth of experience implementing Oracle E-Business Suite in the Life Sciences industry.
