Astra Zeneca: Silo'd Intranet Consolidation

Astra Zeneca is one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, with a broad range of medicines designed to fight disease in important areas of healthcare. With over 65,000 employees around the world, Astra Zeneca achieved $29.6 billion in sales in 2007.


The Challenge:

Dozens of intranet silos, hosted on a myriad of servers and technologies was draining Astra Zeneca's IT budget and energy. Selecting Coban to lead the effort to create a single, stable, corporate intranet foundation for the future, Astra Zeneca was on its way to easing its pain.

The Solution:

A single technology platform based on Vignette's Portal and Content Management solution was the answer. The Coban team led the architecture, technical design, installation, and development of the solution that would serve as the foundation for Astra Zeneca's corporate intranet.

The Results:

>

A performant, stable intranet platform

>

Substantial decrease in cost of ownership and management of the intranet platform

>

Project delivered on time and on budget
