MediClick Caps 2009 by Introducing RFP Project Management to Contracts & Analysis
Raleigh, NC – January 7, 2010 –Users of MediClick for Contracts & Analysis (C&A) can now manage their active RFP process – from analyzing opportunities to awarding contracts and tracking savings – in one central place. This “project” feature is the capstone of Sprint 021, MediClick’s fifth and final enhancement release of 2009.
MediClick, the leading provider of Software-as-a-Service supply chain solutions in the healthcare industry, makes these enhancements and additions possible through its agile development process.
“Through agile development we are able to provide smaller, more targeted product releases about every 6-8 weeks," says Tony Verdone, MediClick’s Vice President of Development. “This keeps us nimble and enables us to get instant feedback from customers that we can use to continually add and enhance features to the MediClick software.”
In the past, supply chain executives have been forced to manage the RFP process through spreadsheets and databases that were disconnected from their materials management systems. MediClick brings together the analysis, bid management, document control, and savings measures under C&A’s project functionality.
“C&A lets users manage the RFP process from start to finish,” says Don Boss, MediClick’s Vice President of Supply Chain Strategy. “We expanded the tool beyond basic analysis and bid creation to give users one place to control the entire process. They can now manage all RFP documents, automatically update their MMIS with newly awarded prices, and track the next 12 months of savings.”
Users can view the entire list of Sprint 021 enhancements made to MediClick for Contracts & Analysis, MediClick for Supply Chain and MediClick for Finance by clicking the Service Pack Notes link on the main panel of their MediClick application.
