Intranet

Sharpstream Pharma

Sharpstream were using Microsoft Sharepoint for their intranet system but needed to improve their access to their library of documents.

PSE's Pagelocker system provided a new intranet solution with an integrated e-Library.

The initial requirement was for an electronic library to store and search Sharpstream's collection of documents which were stored in a variety of locations.

Access to the documents is controlled using permissions and each staff member is allocated access to the sections of the e-Library with view or edit access.

META data is associated with the documents and integrated with the search system, providing hierarchical searching by category.

A later addition to the brief was that flexibility was required to add new menu options to the intranet with some of the sections secured for particular levels of access.

PSE built a .Net web application linked to Pagelocker which provides the security and content management facilities. The system provides the following features:

  • Logon system linked to a central user table
  • Structured e-Library with security applied to each branch
  • File upload facility for authorised users at any branch level
  • Sophisticated search system returning targetted results based on document title, contents and META data, automatically filtered according to the users' access level
  • Full content management
  • Audit trail and access logging
  • The ability to drop mini applications into any web page in the form of .Net controls
  • Database editing of underlying information such as category lists
