Premier Selects FullTilt Solutions' I-Accel™ to Manage Healthcare Product Information
I-Accel™ To Be The Central Repository for Product Data, Managing up to 1.5 Million SKUs
KING OF PRUSSIA, PA - FullTilt Solutions, Inc. (www.fulltiltsolutions.com), a leader in solving complex data management and integration challenges, today announced that Premier, Inc., a healthcare group-purchasing organization that negotiates contracts on behalf of its member hospitals, has selected FullTilt's I-Accel product information management software to serve as a central repository of product information.
"Managing product information has been a daunting task for the healthcare industry, given the lack of data standards required to identify millions of products as well as thousands of hospitals utilizing just as many different purchasing practices," said Bob Moyer, president of FullTilt Solutions. "I-Accel will play an important role in helping Premier manage product information and potentially do the same for numerous healthcare manufacturers and distributors."
I-Accel™ is a proven solution for large-scale product information management issues and its flexibility allows it to be used by manufacturers and distributors across multiple industries. Bearings Distributor Inc., a leading global supplier and service provider to manufacturing companies, is currently using I-Accel™ as a global shared repository for nearly 500,000 SKUs worth of product information. In addition, Brady Corporation, an international manufacturer and marketer of complete identification solutions and specialty materials, is using I-Accel™ to manage its global e-catalog production and distribution process.
"FullTilt's expertise working with client's in the healthcare industry combined with I-Accel's ability to solve major product information challenges will prove beneficial to Premier," said Moyer. "We look forward to a very successful relationship."
