0503x22a.jpgMedical technology manufacturers continue to face a sometimes daunting market challenge: to manage accelerating competitive pressure in a consolidating industry while under heavy regulatory scrutiny. In fact, the arrival of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has only intensified the government's interest in corporate internal practices. Another source of pressure for some companies is that the enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supplier relationship management (SRM) systems in which they invested over the past decade can now do little to further optimize the cost side of the business. And yet, many of these same device manufacturers leak millions of dollars in potential profits through gaps in their revenue life cycle.
