CPG Implements Agile PLM Release 9.3 at Avéma Pharma Solutions,
A Division of PL Developments
BOCA RATON, FL — November 16, 2009 — CPG has successfully implemented the first instance of Oracle’s Agile Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Release 9.3 at Avéma Pharma Solutions, a division of PL Developments. Avéma is an integrated single source manufacturing operation of pharmaceutical, over-the-counter (OTC), and nutritional solid-dose products based in Miami, Florida.
The new Agile system went live at Avéma on September 28, 2009. “As a contract manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, Avéma collaborates with our clients on the development, manufacture, and introduction of new products,” said Thomas Crowe, CIO of Avéma. “By implementing Agile PLM we have world class portfolio management and product collaboration capabilities, along with flexible packaging options to meet the diverse needs of our clients. This will allow us to decrease our time to market, accelerate our market growth, and improve the service we provide to our customers.”
Avéma has the capacity to manufacture 8 billion dosages of pharmaceutical, OTC and nutritional solid-dose products. PL Developments offers extensive marketing services including package design, branding, advertising, distribution, promotional materials, displays and digital media. The new system is designed to support the complete product lifecycle. CPG is now working with PLD on an enterprise-wide rollout of the Agile PLM Suite and the implementation of Oracle E-Business Suite.
The Oracle-CPG Solution
With Agile PLM in place, Avéma gained efficiencies in portfolio visibility, process and schedule management, as well as content and resource management. “We implemented a single repository for Research & Development and Sales & Marketing content, made knowledge easily available across the organization and completely replaced the use of spreadsheets and databases for key functions,” said Ali Safadi, Partner at CPG. Avéma now has dashboards and reports that enable instant information and fast decision-making.
