This document provides details on Microsoft Dynamics 365, top reasons why you need to consider moving to the cloud and a brief on Integrated Chemical Management (iCM) and its benefits to the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Currently, Chemical and Pharmaceutical industries have standalone 3rd party software solutions for SDS Management and Label Management. Safety Data Sheets and Label management, both, are required solutions for the Chemical, Pharma and process industries. They can benefit immensely from an integrated approach to such critical solutions. By choosing iCM, customers can save money on maintaining standalone and siloed solutions and avoid the cost of building expensive interfaces to Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations.

OUR METHODOLOGY / APPROACH
22. iCM – An Overview
Integrated Chemical Management (iCM) is an industry-first integrated
solution for Microsoft Dynamics and the Chemical / Pharmaceutical
industry. It offers comprehensive functionality in compliance with the
GHS guidelines in 3 (three) key areas –
- Integrated & Fully functional SDS Management (Full-function SDS-Authoring and
Maintenance)
- Label Management (including Private Labels and full suite of labels) &
- DEA Management
23. iCM –Value Proposition
Eliminate the cost of integration to 3rd-party labeling and SDS systems
Integrated Safety Data Sheets Management
Real-time safety data sheets and label data management, that are consistent and GHS complaint
ReduceTotal Cost of Ownership (TCO) by removing the need to maintain product safety
documentation and data in-house
Integrate 3rd-party systems to fast-track processes and time to market
24. iCM – RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
• iCM’s Label Management eliminates the cost of customizing 5 workflows in Microsoft Dynamics
365.
1. Receiving (Raw Material Receipts, Procurement)
2. Shipping
3. Production (Finished Goods labels)
4. Quality (Lab and samples)
5. DOT labels & more..
• The development lifecycle (Specs, Development, Testing & Production) of each workflow is estimated to be 40
hours.
• Minimum cost avoidance – 160 hours
• Cost avoidance estimate for 160 hours (only for labels) ~ $30,000 (1st year)
**Cost avoidance and savings for SDS Management have been documented separately.
