Session Details
Drowning in a Sea of Information… What’s Your Rescue Plan?
Speaker: Joe JenkinsTime: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Date: June 25
Track: Content Technologies
Experience level: All levels
Life Sciences companies are trying to cope with an information explosion. The amount of content and data within and outside of the average organization is growing exponentially, but the majority of it – more than 90% - is unstructured and residing in disparate repositories. This overload of disparate information makes it nearly impossible for employees, customers and business partners to find the content they need, let alone the correct version or representation of it.
The inability to access and reuse existing content leads to the proliferation of redundant information across the enterprise, resulting in increased costs of information management, increased compliance risks, lower productivity, and slower time to market.
This session will describe how new and innovative solutions are being developed leveraging the power of XML and using products such as Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Office, and emerging Web 2.0 tools, to deliver significant operational improvements across the enterprise such as:
- Lower costs through the use of a single source of content
- Lower risk of non-compliance by ensuring only the use of the latest approved content
- Increased productivity by reducing manual and error-prone processes, and automating the publishing of information to various output formats
- Increased customer satisfaction through quicker and easier access to information when, how and where it is needed
