"In selecting Streamline's Contractor Management Workflow, we will now be able to optimize what had been a very manual, labor-intensive compliance process," said Berwyn Kelley, MBA, Director Materials Management, St. Vincent's Medical Center. "In addition, we will now have complete transparency with automated workflow triggers to alert us when a contract has expired or if a contractor is out of compliance. Streamline was the only vendor that provided a complete process optimization solution addressing our compliance needs for both our vendors and our contractors, plus we wanted a proven ASP delivery model with subscription-based pricing. Ease of use and rapid speed to value are equally important and were key determinants as well."
