GLobal Access Datatabase for Integrated Systems for KNowledge Integrations Geared Highly for Timeliness AND THE Purchasing Information Portal Source

GL.A.D.I.S.KN.I.G.H.T. and the P.I.P.S.

How about "PurchPOP?" Purchasing and Planning Otsuka Portal?

"OPPO-PLAN?" Otsuka Planning, Purchasing And Legal N(ode)(etwork)?

Maybe acronyms aren't the way to go... Maybe call it "The Pharm" (assuming we're talking about Otsuka Pharm America)?

I like FLOPPI, fwiw; it sounds like a friendly Nordic bunny or something useful from IKEA. Good images.

FELICIPOP -- I'm pretty sure this also happens to be the name of a contestant on American Idol. (letters slightly out of order, but hey, who's going to check?)

FLOPPI and PIPS were both very popular at the meeting, but they ended up going with "The $ource."

How sucky. Thanks for the input y'all.
