Challenge: efficiently managing an ecosystem of partner organizations and projects
Founded in 1991, Penta began as an international network dedicated to clinical studies on treatments for children living with HIV. The organization subsequently expanded its research scope to include complex conditions such as hepatitis, tuberculosis, fungal infections and sepsis.
Today, the network brings together approximately 700 members across 95 countries and collaborates with 130 research centers, while Fondazione Penta ETS coordinates its scientific and educational activities.
Increasing organizational and management complexity highlighted the need to:
- replace processes still managed manually, particularly project assignments and approval workflows;
- improve the financial and administrative control of research projects funded by national and international organizations;
- introduce artificial intelligence capabilities to support operational activities and decision-making;
- provide users with a simple, modern and accessible experience within an international organization.
