Client Chat: How Clarkston Assesses, Designs, and Implements Solutions
We sat down with our client Alnylam Pharmaceuticals to hear how they chose Clarkston as partner and why the relationship was beneficial. They selected Clarkston because of industry expertise and Clarkston’s willingness to partner on a journey to client success. The experience of partnering with Clarkston for an SAP implementation was one where Clarkston was driving the implementation and was hands-on in training to enable success internally after consultants stepped away.
“Clarkston does an amazing job at assessing what a company needs, evaluating how they can help the company, and ultimately, implementing what the company needs to be successful for the future. But most importantly, leaving you with the turn-key solution, such that when the consultants leave, you can step back and operate that system or process on your own,” said Charlie Hitscherich, Head of the External Manufacturing and Alliance Management Team.
