Ein Content Hub für wissenschaftliche Fachinformationen 

Die 5.000 Mitarbeiter aus dem Forschungs- und Entwicklungsbereich des globalen Agrartechnologie-Unternehmens Syngenta benötigen jederzeit und überall Zugriff auf F&E Inhalte. Um das zu ermöglichen, hat das Unternehmen einen Content Hub für den Zugang zu veröffentlichten wissenschaftlichen Informationen geschaffen.

Syngenta, a leading agriculture company that aims to improve global food security, has 5,000 R&D employees spread across the world. As most working in information management corporate library services know, these R&D employees need access to published information, whenever, wherever. But with more content than ever being published, coupled with evolving authentication methods and new licensing models, it’s becoming harder to efficiently access vital information.

To meet the evolving needs of researchers, Syngenta’s information and knowledge management team wanted to create a streamlined process to obtain access to content. That content — like company subscriptions, scientific journals, and more — was both dispersed and diverse.  There was no unified or consistent place or method for obtaining content, so individual users and groups were taking it upon themselves to acquire content in different ways.

“We have members of R&D spread far and wide, and when we say field sites, some of the sites really are field sites,” Syngenta’s Information and Knowledge Management Lead Rachel Benzies said. “In addition to those at our main R&D sites, these are people who need to be able to access the information we provide.”

Wondering how you can ease access to valuable information resources for R&D employees? Here are a few ideas to get started:

1. Create a training program, so all information users know where they are supposed to be going for information and content resources. The sooner you get everyone on one page for content access and sharing, the better. Learn how the information team at UCB did that here.
2. Bring together a cross-functional global team to create a master set of global assets. At Honeywell, teammates from around the world participated on equal ground with U.S. teammates who had previously owned the process. The result? The modular assets they created were “the most comprehensive, effective, and ready-to-use we ever had.”
3. Consider a tool that allows employees to search across databases. This one of the main features outlined in 5 Things Modern Researchers Want in a Search Tool.
