Technologists at Merck & Co. Inc. have developed a pilot solution with Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 to optimize the creation, transmission, and collection of information associated with late stage clinical trials. InfoPath is helping expedite the creation and completion of these reports and helping improve the quality of data captured in the critical databases - both of which improve Merck’s ability to compile and analyze critical data and its ability to increase operational efficiencies. As Merck technologists put the information gathering program’s use of XML, Web services, business rules, and powerful validation tools to the test, they are also determining how other processes at Merck can be optimized by an InfoPath - based solution.
