A mid-sized company struggled with the needed infrastructure to support the content needs of its research and development team. A homegrown collaboration was developed but proved inadequate. The client came to Infotrieve seeking a secure social network platform that would be copyright compliant.

To address these needs, Infotrieve implemented its private, fully secure, cloud-based venue for social networking and collaboration. Further, Infotrieve instituted a search and discovery process for gathering relevant scientific information and for sourcing and delivering scientific documents that also provided staffing and management of all the processes.

With these systems in place, the client now has an up-to-date and comprehensive search and discovery environment for its research and development team. Together, all the pieces of the solution offer maximum depth and breadth of published information pertaining to biotechnology, pharmacy, chemistry, psychology and related fields and includes access to published scientific literature, as well as information presented at scientific conferences. The social networking platform also enables e-content and knowledge sharing, where colleagues now are following one another and creating virtual workgroups for collaboration, providing input and receiving feedback through annotating, commenting, rating and reviewing content copyright compliantly.
