Novation Launches Faster, Smarter Contract Catalog
Industry-Leading Resource Saves Time, Improves Decision Making to Drive Better Contract Management and Purchasing
IRVING, TX; January 11, 2010 – This week, Novation, the leading health care supply contracting company, launched a dramatically faster and smarter Novation Contract Catalog. With more attributes to search by, members of VHA Inc, University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) and Provista LLC, can easily locate the products that meet all their needs – whether they are trying to standardize, lower costs, or support diversity and “green” initiatives. In addition to being easier to use, the new Novation Contract Catalog provides contract information not previously available. By providing search results that include several contract attributes, members also can accomplish a number of different contracting goals from the same search.
After the initial launch, a member said of the new catalog, “I really like the new design of the catalog. The navigation is very intuitive and it’s easier to accomplish a number of contracting tasks at once, saving me time and helping me to better manage our purchasing and costs.”
Key features of the new Novation Contract Catalog include:
- Swift Results - With dramatically faster and smarter searches, members can find all contract-related information within seconds, allowing them to make contracting decisions more quickly and efficiently.
- Ease of Use - An easy-to-use, contemporary layout and design make it easier to find contract-related information.
- Increased Accuracy - The ability to search by a number of different product and contract attributes will help members find what they need the first time.
“This new and improved decision-support tool was developed with considerable feedback from the members we serve”, said Alex Latham, VP, e-business and systems development at Novation. “We are confident the end result will exceed their expectations and help to drive improved decision making and easier contract management.”
