GlaxoSmithKline • Our mission is to improve the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer • We are a research-based pharmaceutical company • We are committed to tackling the three "priority" diseases identified by the World Health Organization: HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria • Our business employs around 99,000 people in over 100 countries • We make almost four billion packs of medicines and healthcare products every year • Over 15,000 people work in our research teams to discover new medicines • We screen about 65 million compounds every year in our search for new medicines • We supply one quarter of the world's vaccines and by the end of February 2009 we had more than 20 vaccines in clinical development
Context and Problem • Why initiate a change program: • End user dissatisfaction • “…performance, reliability & stability must be improved.” • “...the amount of information, and finding it, is overwhelming.” • “…need for access to information from anywhere, at any time.” • Current platform and toolset obsolescence • Application and Services integration complexities • Limited support for externalisation • Increasing custom solutions and related ongoing support • Inflexible cost and delivery model • Lack of desired current tools/features (re: wiki, RSS, Blog, Social Computing, etc.) • Limited Mobile Support
Context and Problem • Context of chosen solution: • Migration to BPOS-D Standard Environment • Necessary Active Directory and network upgrades • Standard Email Preservation service • Email/data Migration and Deployment • Training and communications • Enable External Access (enable the “Virtual Enterprise”) • Integrate GSK Specific Solutions • Intranet redesign & team and task management tool replacement • Dedicated environment to host legacy Notes applications • Remediation and integration for impacted applications • Upgrade to Microsoft Office 2007 • Integration with GSK helpdesk and support
