Our Research Productivity solutions, services and methodologies, position research communities at the forefront of research best practices and deliver on corporate demands for productivity, IP creation and time-to-market.

Efficient research is critical to productivity improvement in the knowledge economy. The creation, protection and dissemination of knowledge is at the core of the R&D process. Most people and organisations think of Knowledge Management as simply Document Management, ie the storage and access of documents, but a significant advantage of our expertise is that we extend that position considerably through the concept of holistic knowledge infrastructures and knowledge lifecycles (knowledge being captured from concept onwards), which are critical for delivering real-world, long term benefits.

These concepts and real-world deployments combine existing technologies and developed methodologies to deliver a multiplier effect on the productivity and efficiencies delivered to 'communities of practice'; which includes:

• Knowledge management
• Program and portfolio management
• Stage gate process management
• Logistics, assets and resources management
• Sophisticated workflows and team task management
• Advanced collaborative Communities of Practice
• Regulatory compliance systems to meet needs such as GxP, FDA or GMF

Our projects and initiatives have delivered dramatic productivity benefits to the communities using them, with research and development teams realizing 50%+ efficiency gains and an immediate effect on collaboration and knowledge access.
