:IMNY IMNY Internet Marketers of New York ), the leading provider of advanced Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM CLM - Career Limiting Move ) solutions for managing corporate commitments, today announced a new version of I-many Validata. I-many Validata scrubs script-level data submitted to pharmaceutical manufacturers, eliminating the need for high-priced third party validation services whose fees increase substantially with escalating data volumes, and home-grown systems that are expensive and time-consuming to develop and maintain.

Enhancements to the latest version of I-many Validata leverage its tight integration with I-many CARS(R) to ensure that rebate requests conform to Verb 1. conform to - satisfy a condition or restriction; "Does this paper meet the requirements for the degree?"

 market share requirements specified in original contracts, and to enable priority-based management of duplicate rebate requests across multiple commercial and government rebate programs. The solution now also flags rebate requests for transaction quantities that exceed pre-set levels.

"I-many Validata is the only solution available off-the-shelf that cost-effectively combines the full range of data scrubbing (1) Making data more accurate and consistent; in other words, "cleaning it up". It refers to eliminating duplicate records, correcting misspellings and errors in names and addresses, ensuring consistent descriptions, punctuation, syntax and other content issues.  capabilities pharmaceutical companies need to control rebate payments," said David Gelhar, senior director of life sciences products at I-many. "This latest version extends the benefits of I-many Validata by increasing the parameters that can be applied when validating transaction data to include information stored in I-many CARS, the number one choice of leading pharmaceutical manufacturers for managing rebates and chargebacks."

By considering contract information stored in I-many CARS when validating script-level transactional data streams, I-many Validata eliminates the possibility of erroneously paying rebates for transactions that do not meet contractual terms. Rebate payments are also minimized with a new benefits validation feature that allows duplicate rebate payment requests to be managed on a priority basis, enabling rebate payments to occur under specific commercial or government plans; if payments were previously made under a different plan, I-many Validata will interface with I-many CARS to reverse those earlier rebate payments. Finally, to eliminate the payment of rebates for unusually high quantities of prescriptions, I-many Validata now allows manufacturers to establish acceptable levels for each product; when these levels are exceeded, the solution will flag the data for additional research.

"This latest version of I-many Validata contains enhancements that are key to our strategic direction of providing users of our solutions with the granular data they need to drive effective business processes," said John Rade John Rade, (born August 31, 1960, in Ceres, California) was a linebacker in the NFL from 1983 to 1991. , chairman, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
