Dexa Medica has evolved from a small regional company into one of Indonesia’s largest pharmaceutical companies. Established in 1969, the company distinguishes itself with self-funded research and development activities, including the search for new drug delivery systems.
Challenge
As Dexa Medica grew larger and formed more subsidiaries, it strained the capacity of its Oracle E-Business Suite. The pharmaceutical manufacturer needed a flexible, powerful environment to deliver access to critical human resources systems—no matter where employees might be working.
Solution
An IBM System p5 550 server hosts IBM WebSphere Portal Express software, which Dexa Medica leverages to surface its Oracle human resources (HR) module and enterprise-wide communication tools. The portal helps close the communication gap between high-level management and staff and helps connect the company’s many dispersed offices, says Aswil Nazir, corporate IT operation manager at Dexa Medica. “Each morning, before they start their day, the employees will log in to the portal and check the latest information,” Nazir explains.
Employees can collaborate on projects through the portal, and an audit trail helps keep track of who made which changes. Many HR tasks can be completed using the portal as well, such as filing requests for leave.
Furthermore, distributors and partners can stay up-to-date with Dexa Medica news by accessing the portal via kiosks placed in the lobby of every Dexa Medica branch office.
Dexa Medica also uses its System p5 550 environment to support its IBM Lotus Domino Enterprise Server platform. With Lotus Domino Enterprise Server, Dexa Medica can connect workers at distributed offices and its subsidiaries with comprehensive e-mail, calendaring and workflow functionality—helping to simplify project workflows and speed product development processes.
Benefits
• WebSphere Portal Express software provides access to business-critical human resources tools across Dexa Medica and its subsidiaries
• Lotus Domino Enterprise Server platform simplifies project workflows for new product development and marketing
• Lotus software enables more effective communication and collaboration—both inside Dexa Medica and with partners and distributors
