About the Organization
Navitas, the dedicated Life Sciences company of TAKE Solutions, harnesses the combined knowledge and experience of three legacy companies—Ecron Acunova, Navitas, and Intelenet—to provide end-to-end services and solutions for pharmaceutical industry professionals.
About the Project
As a part of the initiative, Navitas Life Science aimed to develop an enhanced & secure collaboration platform where all the stakeholders could be brought together to discuss challenges, exchange latest thinking and build best practices within their field.
To ensure the best outcomes, Navitas wanted a reliable, experienced partner who could make insight-driven decisions at every stage of the clinical development pipeline.
Navitas needed a platform that would facilitate knowledge sharing through online activities, record, store knowledge captured and make this repository searchable & available online.
In addition, the platform would need to facilitate communication and user participation through contemporary UI/UX while allowing the publishing of content through an intuitive & easy-to-use publishing interface.
Project Features
The Platform was powered by a Rich profile and Content intelligence. The Rich Profile captured the regular profile data along with the industry specific interest areas , networks and departments. The Content intelligence included assigned Intelligence like meta information, type of asset, and industry specific classification around interest areas , networks and departments. The acquired intelligence were the rating, views and comments around the specific comments. This helped in bringing out the relevant content for the user upfront.
Interested Communities/Networks/ Working Groups was another powerful component of the project. Communication & Interactions in the platform are within Interested Communities - Networks & Working groups.
Networks were domain specific - these are areas of expertise within the Pharma organizations. Collaboration within networks could be around content, news & discussions. Users are subscribed to one or many Networks.
Working groups refers to the specific groups of members from different Pharma companies coming together on focussed topics. he platform facilitates an offline document update process where each member of the working group can download, edit and re-upload documents. System tracks updates on each document through revisions.
The Other features in the Navitas project included:
- Document Repository feature that helped record, store knowledge captured during collaborative offline events by leveraging Drupal’s media, file management, content creation interfaces and provided for a fast search interface by integrating with Apache Solr
- Industry specific Surveys presented to the users using a custom Subscription & Tableau integration module. This module presented the Tableau reports as embedded iframes based on the user's subscription package.
- Business Module that was used to create Engagement Metrics to track key activities of the members and facilitates reports at the Client/Organization level to improve participation
- Acceptance of Code of Conduct, GDPR reports were part of the implementation.
- Tools for Navitas admin to manage contracts and subscriptions were built.
- The project itself was hosted in the Clients private cloud in AWS.
Strategy
- Use Drupal’s content management capabilities & community-building capabilities to help deliver the product
- Agile Development process to ensure the client could see the progress made on the product & give timely feedback on features. The Agile approach was extremely useful to ensure the time commitments for the product launch were met.

Why Unimity?
Unimity’s experience in building out ground up products in the knowledge management & community building space was their biggest differentiator. This was augmented by their clear understanding of business requirements and subscription models, domain expertise and exposure to having built large scale enterprise Drupal 8 implementations.
