Merit Solutions helps growing life science companies make the Right Start 

May 2, 2022

Pre-configured ERP offering provides customers an affordable point of entry without compromising on the long-term requirements of cloud, security, compliance, scalability, and industry-leading functionality.  

“Ensuring customers can start with their last ERP solution first, means not having to handcuff growth because their system doesn’t keep up with their scientific success.”

Merit Solutions Right Start is Microsoft Dynamics 365, Merit for Life Science, and Microsoft Azure in a single deployment, natively integrated within a secure cloud platform.

Merit Solutions announced today the availability of Merit for Life Science Right Start. Designed as an embed solution to Microsoft Dynamics 365, the solution includes the financial and supply chain components every rapid growth life science company needs as they shift from R&D to pre-clinical operations. It is provided through the Microsoft Cloud, and leverages all the systems familiar to team members including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams and Azure services. Customers are provided a well-defined, multi-phased approach to the implementation of their ERP that aligns specifically with their operational expansion.  

Shortly after the research phase of a company is completed, savvy executives are already planning for GMP operations. They know their basic accounting software and document sharing systems won’t get them to a financial management solution that supports the business or the expectations of investors. They know that the security and compliance of the solution they choose needs to meet the quality standards they establish. And they know that in order to grow unconstrained, all systems must enable the company to run at maximum productivity. While they see the future ahead, they must also balance current IT budgets with equity investments.  

Merit has worked collaboratively with industry investors and experts, and with growing organizations, to deliver a pre-configured D365-based financials and supply chain foundation that will grow with the organization without stall-outs and additional product selection processes, re-deployments and re-training of teams, and myriads of disparate data. As customers grow, the platform and application suite grows with their requirements. Later phases include expanded financials, supply chain, quality, manufacturing, warehousing, and all the associated controls to ensure quality SOPs are followed. 

“With over 20 years of experience serving biotech, pharma, and medical device companies, we’ve helped customers have incredible success with their ERP implementations, we’ve been called in to rescue customers with less success, and we’ve seen what happens when customers choose a solution early and then at the peak of growth, their solution fails them because it can’t scale,” says VP of Services, Tanja Pajic, “Ensuring customers can start with their last ERP solution first, means not having to handcuff growth because their system doesn’t keep up with their scientific success.”
