The company’s intellectual property can be life changing or life saving. With that idea in mind, the company implemented a corporate-wide initiative to increase information access and flow. Easy to manage, quick to deploy and operational for both RDF and clinical trial data, the company uses Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and Documentum to exchange information company-wide.
However, with so much science and experimentation at stake, the need for more precision was paramount. Also, the company must comply with evolving FDA regulatory procedures throughout its efforts.
To remain a leader in the industry, the company had to optimize performance and cost control of their corporate information management system while improving findability and regulatory compliance world-wide.
The Solution:
In addition to SharePoint 2007 and Documentum the company deployed a key, metadata management software component, SchemaLogic Enterprise Suite (SES).
The company conducts its content collaboration with Microsoft SharePoint, stores information in Documentum, and searches all content via FAST ESP. Adding SchemaLogic Enterprise Suite for metadata management directly addressed the critical components of content oversight, retrieval and risk mitigation critical to the FDA clinical trials process.
How It Works:
SES ensures digital information assets are described in a consistent way across the enterprise so information can be accessed precisely when needed, especially for FDA regulatory procedures. SchemaLogic’s software scales globally for information management, collaboration, and retrieval as well as seamless integration with SharePoint and Documentum.
Information is not isolated, but shared. And, as descriptions and terms evolve, SES metadata models provide an efficient and seamless way to update and build upon crucial data, which remains consistent as it evolves, company-wide.
The unique vocabularies of the pharmaceutical industry come together in one, unified system that also meets compliance standards.
Challenge Met:
Teams can now trust that the information and knowledge they share with each other is up-to-date and accurate, with an information solution that enables them to better address business and health issues around the world.
This unified ECM initiative provides:
Maximum findability and relevance
Standards that unify vocabularies
Optimized compliance
Better governance
SchemaLogic Enterprise Suite worked within an existing system to put all the pieces together. The end result is a more refined, productive information flow, key to innovation and competition in a vital industry.
