On-demand webcastsDocument and Records Managementfor biopharmaceutical companies In the biopharmaceutical industry, information drives innovation, and many content and information sources feed research and development. The ability to create, share, navigate, and protect information is critical to research and development groups, clinicians, regulatory agencies, marketing teams, and finally, customers. Biopharmaceutical companies must create and manage regulated content while also remaining flexible to drive product innovation. The ease of how information workers integrate and share content is an important measure of how well an organization can transform its information workers into consumers of information and producers of business knowledge. Microsoft and Sapient have teamed together with Content Technologies and SchemaLogic to provide the most advanced approach to Enterprise Content Management (ECM) in the biopharmaceutical industry. The Intelligent Content Framework (ICF) is delivered by business domain experts, configured to industry standards, and is easily extended and customized for corporate processes and products. The ICF is a fully-integrated solution based on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Office 2007, providing a secure web-based collaboration workspace with the strong authoring and publishing capabilities of DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) and centralized metadata management. The one-hour webinar introduces the ICF and demonstrates its use in real-life biopharmaceutical roles.

Microsoft will review life science companies that have successfully used SharePoint in a regulated environment. Enabling the networked pharma model through collaborative work spaces With increasing competitive and cost pressures, progressive pharmaceutical companies are strategically transforming to more virtual, networked models. Drug discovery and development functions have shifted over the last few decades and are now shared with partners that have specialties in different areas of the process. The result. Companies are leveraging the networked model across the pharma enterprise -- from drug discovery, development, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, and production. With the increase in pharma in-licensing, late-stage compounds, and the increasing reliance on contract research organizations, regulatory operations is the latest domain to join the virtual trend. And as pharma companies are looking to speed their compounds through the regulatory approval process, collaborative work spaces become key to success.
