Case Study: Boehringer Ingelheim Speeds Scientific Discovery with Research Solutions

Seamless Access To Knowledge Speeds Up Discovery For Boehringer Ingelheim

Boehringer Ingelheim, a major pharmaceutical company, faced challenges in providing its global workforce with seamless and copyright-compliant access to scientific literature. Its decentralized system resulted in inconsistent service quality, high costs, and difficulty managing the vast volume of articles needed for research and pharmacovigilance. The company sought a centralized, lean knowledge access platform to overcome these obstacles.

Research Solutions implemented its Article Galaxy Enterprise Platform, which provided a centralized, automated system for document delivery. The solution integrated checks for existing subscriptions and Open Access to avoid duplicate spending and ensure compliance. For Boehringer Ingelheim, this resulted in almost immediate article delivery, significant time savings for researchers, and a much lower cost per article. The investment more than justified itself as usage volume increased, and Research Solutions became a trusted, preferred partner.
