eSirius process automation means Increased Efficiency and Reduced Costs

The automation of business processes improves efficiency and reduces costs through elimination of data entry redundancy and the processing of paper work.  eSirius Enterprise ARF Management applications eliminate the time spent performing repetitive tasks and ensure the flow of accurate and complete information in compliance with enterprise pre-defined business rules and procedures.

Examples of Increased Efficiency and Reduced Costs:

Online submission of animal orders and services requisition

Researchers create all animal orders and/or services requisitions completely online.  The ARF staff assures accuracy and completeness of information through the use of business rules, required fields, procedures, and prompts each intuitively linked to online request documents.  The Researchers' online orders and requests are guided by standardized business rules and procedures as configured by ARF management.  Information is more accurate and the inefficient and costly cycle of paper orders, multiple data entry, and telephone calls to and from Researchers are eliminated.

Memorized templates

Documents in eSirius may be saved as “Memorized Templates” to eliminate redundancy of data entry and increase efficiency.

Alert/Reminder notifications

The Alert/Reminder feature allows Researchers to view the current status of their transactions online, reducing the time spent on phone calls, e-mail correspondence, etc.

Animal Procurement Auto-receive

The eSirius Animal Procurement Auto-receive feature automatically reconciles animal order receipts with orders placed, eliminating the time spent on performing repetitive tasks.

Online Invoicing

The eSirius online invoicing capability eliminates the traditional manual tasks of invoice printing, envelope stuffing, label printing, and invoice mailing to Researchers.

Cost Accounting

The eSirius Cost Accounting application calculates per diem rates according to the NIH “Cost Analysis and Rate Setting Manual”, thus eliminating traditional costs associated with hiring external accounting firms.

The eSirius integrated suite of applications improves the efficiency in every step of the animal research facility processes resulting in remarkably reduced costs.
