Grey Healthcare Partners with Aprimo to Offer Clients Greater Marketing Efficiency

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 6 / / -- GHG and Aprimo, Incorporated, the global leader in Enterprise Marketing Management (EMM), today announced their partnership. GHG will deploy Aprimo Agency(TM) to optimize its internal processes and provide the highest level of operational efficiency to its clients. GHG, one of the world's largest healthcare communications companies, will use Aprimo to automate its day-to-day workflow, including creative review processes and project management, which will provide faster project turnaround time and improved collaboration and forecast tracking.

Agencies in all sectors have been searching for an application to improve efficiencies and reporting capabilities. The GHG/Aprimo partnership will lead the way in defining processes in the heavily regulated pharmaceutical industry.

"Our mission is to meet the challenging demands of our clients through industry-leading electronic efficiencies, shared knowledge across accounts, and improved forecasting. Aprimo will help us make every aspect of creating, tracking, and completing jobs faster and easier," said Colleen Davenport, VP, Director of Information Services at GHG. "Our customers are the ultimate beneficiaries of this investment. The deployment of Aprimo will also empower supervisors at GHG to recognize outstanding employees and teams and provide incentives to exemplary staff members."

Released earlier this year, Aprimo Agency enables agencies to manage the resources and production of thousands of jobs across a variety of channels. Aprimo Agency also provides agencies with the resources to standardize and streamline the production process from concept to delivery, thereby allowing them to improve efficiency and timeliness of communication with their clients.

"Aprimo recognizes that agencies and pharma companies are in closer partnerships than ever before and that they share the desire to gain the same efficiencies," said Bill Godfrey, CEO and chairman of Aprimo. "The collaboration between GHG and Aprimo is a natural fit that will ultimately benefit the pharmaceutical companies served by GHG."
