gGoing Forward: Important Changes at Ovid Over time we will consolidate Ovid and

SilverPlatter online platforms into a single tool.

Why?– Customers across businesses rank the

same things as important.– While each platform has unique strengths,

there is an overlap in functionality. We’ll evolve to the best of both, with some new ideas too.

– We can accommodate customer needs in a single tool.

single platform?– SilverPlatter platform databases which are

not currently available on the Ovid platform must be moved to Ovid

– Unique SilverPlatter platform features must be incorporated into the Ovid platform

– Compelling new functionality in Ovid, including better interface options, must be in place on the new Ovid platform
