Cabeus

Cabeus provided SharePoint consultation for a medium-sized pharmaceutical firm two years ago. The company was primarily focused on the domestic market, with 6,000 employees and two data centers in the US. The primary business goal for this project was to improve the operational state of the SharePoint environment for enterprise-level use. Cabeus worked on establishing the approach, drafting the governance model, and providing consultation. The project was completed almost two years ago in 2011 and resulted in a more robust and efficient system with improved roles and tasks for the team.

Cabeus implemented SharePoint for a medical device corporation to help them gather regulatory affairs operating plans more efficiently. The company had been using Excel spreadsheets, which led to extra work and data entry. Cabeus helped create a SharePoint solution to enter data in one place, view it for approval, and use Gantt charts against the dates. The solution harmonized the nomenclature used in another system of registrations, enhancing synergy. Cabeus was involved in planning, design, development, and support for the project, and the initiative cost was approximately $75,000. The company expected to see improved efficiency in finalizing plans and easier visibility across the globe for registrations.

Cabeus provided an ECM solution for a major international pharmaceutical corporation that had merged with another company. The company needed a document management strategy for the joint enterprise using EMC Documentum, Microsoft SharePoint, and Google Docs. Cabeus was involved in analyzing the document management environments, classifying documents, and proposing a solution for secure document storage in a regulated environment. The project cost was approximately $200,000 and took about eight months to complete, resulting in a directional study to determine the company's IT direction post-merger. Employees were happy with the defined approach and the reduced number of platforms to learn.
