Neoforma SalesTrace(TM). The complexity of the medical/surgical
marketplace -- with its distribution requirements, contracting
practices with group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and contract
administration fees -- has created a critical need for clean and
consistent data to ensure the accuracy of chargeback and payment of
administration fees and business accounting practices. "The
precision and integrity of sales data is paramount to Ansell's
ability to grow its sales revenue and profitability. Neoforma has a
proven track record of success in helping healthcare manufacturers
like us stay ahead in the market, and we are looking forward to

technology," says William Reed, senior vice president and regional
director of the Americas for Ansell, which celebrates more than 100
years as a market leader. Neoforma performs the steps necessary to
simplify an otherwise highly complex contract management and
chargeback process for medical/surgical manufacturers. Through
Neoforma CMS, the Neoforma team procures data seamlessly from

duplicate transactions, filling in missing fields and correcting
inconsistencies. "Ansell joins other leading suppliers that

accurate data, which Neoforma CMS provides. We are proud to be
Ansell's supply chain partner in its efforts to optimize its sales
