Research & Development organisations face unique challenges on a daily basis - IT should not be one of them. Conventional IT systems and support services are seldom capable of meeting the needs of R&D organisations, let alone giving them the competitive edge they need to excel in this high pressure environment.
Systems have to:

• Surface relevant information
• In the right format
• To the right people
• At the right time
• Within a predefined security policy

How can we help?
Our solutions are built upon a number of Microsoft platforms to deliver a range of integrated functionality. Every solution is designed according to the needs of the organisation - but typically include the following:

Intellectual Property Management: Stop loss of IP by restricting the transmission of un-published works outside of a secure network. Identify and empower IP watchdogs with the authority to override.

Advanced Contextual Search: Build and use search functionality specifically for your organisation. Spend less time searching.

Flexible Document Management: Decrease clutter by using flexible management tools to review, store, version and archive shared and un-shared documents. Never work on outdated versions again.

Project Management: Integrate the Microsoft stack to both plan and report on project progress, manage resources, efforts and results. Create manager, director and investor reporting services when and where needed.

Unified Communications: Use integrated communication services to add email, instant messaging and internet phone capabilities that let you communicate with contacts both inside and outside your organisation from the platform or even from within your applications, as you work on documents. Out of sight should never mean out of contact.

Automated Review Process: Create workflows on the fly to manage the peer-review process. Collect, process and publish more quickly by making sure that the right people have access to the right version of the document at the right time.

Manage Resource Allocation: Control who has the ability to book and use facilities. Assign scheduling and maintenance authority to scientific officers. Get real time usage statistics by department, project or team.
