Case Study: Boehringer Ingelheim streamlines scientific content access with Research Solutions’ Article Galaxy

Boehringer Ingelheim speeds access to scientific content for 8,000 knowledge workers with Research Solutions

Boehringer Ingelheim, a global pharmaceutical company, faced a challenge with its decentralized and inefficient system for procuring scientific articles. Each of its 145 operational units had its own process, leading to inconsistent service quality and high costs. Their Scientific Information Center needed a lean, centralized solution to provide seamless access to knowledge and achieve global cost savings, so they turned to Research Solutions and its Article Galaxy platform.

Research Solutions implemented the Article Galaxy platform, which integrated with Boehringer Ingelheim's existing workflow and performed checks for subscriptions and Open Access availability. This provided fast, copyright-compliant document delivery. The solution resulted in a much lower cost per article for Boehringer Ingelheim, with the savings becoming increasingly valuable as procurement volume rose, and provided the usage analytics needed for smarter decision-making.
