Enterprise level CMS for regulated industry - pharma
The CMS is a solution for a reputed pharmaceutical company based in Europe. Operating from various locations in the world. They needed a single CMS that could help them create a conglomerate of sites in various languages, all which would be similar in visual elements and textual elements.
Another important component of the CMS was the need to fulfill the regulatory needs so that the content fulfilled the strict guidelines of the monitoring authorities. This meant implementation of versioning, workflows, audit trails etc. The activities on the users needed to be monitored in terms of when and by whom content changes are made.
The sites created by the CMS needed to be search engine friendly as well as would provide easy navigation for the users coming to the site. The websites would be compliant with all major web usability standards. Several functionalities were required in the CMS, which were needed as plug-ins so that they could be implemented only in the sites selected. The system needed to be scalable so that more plug-ins could be built and added as the need arose.
