About The Customer
The Advisory Board Company is a leading provider of comprehensive performance improvement services for healthcare and educational institutions, serving over 2,800 member organizations. It offers a range of services including operational best practices, business intelligence, management training, and consulting support. The company is dedicated to enhancing business processes through cloud-based application software, working in tandem with traditional on-premise technology infrastructure. The Advisory Board Company is migrating from Microsoft CRM to a customized salesforce.com implementation to manage member services, while continuing to use Microsoft SQL Server as a data warehouse and reporting platform.
The Challenge
The Advisory Board Company needed to migrate a large volume of data from its on-premise CRM application to salesforce.com. The IT team faced challenges in synchronizing data among divergent applications, with information spread across more than two million records. The existing integration software was costly and unable to meet data orchestration needs, particularly with cloud-based solutions like salesforce.com. The company required a more efficient way to move its massive enterprise database to the cloud.
The Solution
The Advisory Board Company deployed SnapLogic Server and the salesforce.com Snap to create a seamless connection between on-premise and cloud-based applications. SnapLogic's Snap Store, offering certified integration plug-ins, enabled the company to complete the migration efficiently. The SnapLogic Server acts as a central hub for connecting SaaS, Cloud, and on-premise applications, offering discoverable, callable, and reusable data services. The SnapLogic Designer provides an intuitive development environment for building data integration pipelines, allowing the IT team to quickly load Microsoft CRM information into the SQL Server data warehouse and populate salesforce.com with this data.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
