CASE STUDY

One of the country’s top 20 pharmaceutical companies has four divisions spanning neuroscience, oncology, cardio-renal and the medical device market. In addition to improving document management processes, the company had two other important needs: supporting hundreds of new hires and providing administrative services for senior executives. Canon partnered with the industry leader to help create the pharmaceutical company’s first innovative programs to solve these vital business challenges.

In addition to implementing records, mail, print management and digital imaging programs, Canon helped launch and manage a “concierge” system for new hires. Canon manages the program, working closely with the pharmaceutical company’s IT and Human Resources departments. The service includes people that comprise a concierge team with the goal of providing direction and support for new colleagues (both firm employees and contract workers) in the first 90 days of their employment or engagement with the company. The concierge team helps meet a wide range of needs, from answering company– and employment–related questions to securing a workspace, employee ID badges and equipment. We also manage an administrative support program for the firm. This includes Canon hiring, training and deploying full-time, high-level administrative personnel who provide support to the company’s senior executives.
