To improve the management of its life-saving operations, the National Marrow Donor Program recently modernized its financial and procurement operations by upgrading to Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.
As the global leader in bone marrow and umbilical cord blood transplants, the
NMDP manages a complex ecosystem of donor, patient, hospital, and biological
data.
“Maintaining accurate data and having an efficient matching
process is essential, particularly as our global database of bone marrow
patients grows and donor lists expand,” says Bruce Schmaltz, director of
finance/controller. “We rely on the Oracle E-Business Suite to ensure our
procurement and financial management processes meet the highest standards,
enabling our growing non-profit to work swiftly and efficiently to help improve
and save lives.” As the non-profit organization and its registry grew
larger, NMDP needed a modern platform to store and integrate its financial
information and complicated procurement process. It selected Oracle E-Business
Suite for its ability to fit seamlessly into NMDP’s enterprise architecture.
NMDP initially implemented Oracle E-Business Suite release 12 by leveraging Oracle Business
Accelerators, which are rapid implementation tools and templates
that help reduce implementation time and costs. With Oracle Financial Management
and Oracle Procurement, NMDP has
streamlined back-office processes and integrated its procure-to-pay business
processes by leveraging industry leading accounts payable, accounts receivable,
and general ledger modules. NMDP is currently rolling out Oracle Hyperion Performance
Management applications and plans to implement Oracle Order Management and
Oracle Advanced Pricing by
the end of 2012. Read more details about NMDP’s modernization
efforts.
