Global healthcare organisation stabilises records operations with dedicated staff
This multinational healthcare organisation had very specific RIM workflows and processes. To prevent broken workflows and inconsistent metadata capture, it needed reliable, trained, and expert resources which existing contractors were unable to provide.

From medical devices to consumer packaged goods, this multinational organisation develops and produces a broad range of healthcare-related products. Because of this, its everyday workplace operations are vast, complex, and governed by stringent regulatory standards.
Separate business segments resulted in fractured records system
For this organisation, having decades of information stored across disparate platforms led to significant operational issues. As a large healthcare entity, the need to securely process and store sensitive information is critical. However, because this organisation was divided into three distinct business segments, each of these areas had its own records and information management (RIM) systems, which resulted in:
- Fragmented daily workflow operations
- Lack of cohesion around data and information governance
- Inconsistent metadata capture across multiple databases
These disconnected systems posed significant risks to the organisation and its ability to efficiently serve customers. To elevate its RIM program, this customer needed more reliable, trained, and expert resources that its existing contractors were unable to provide.
