Pfizer Global R&D
Pfizer Global R&D performs drug research and clinical trials of promising therapies for Pfizer, Inc., the world's largest research-based pharmaceuticals company.
Pfizer Global R&D's work entails handling sensitive, regulated personal health information requiring access control and data encryption. When the organization undertook a strategic initiative to provide access to all its applications through a Web services-based portal, it chose Progress Actional to ensure SOA security and compliance with FDA mandates.
According to Jeffrey D. LoVetere, software architect for Pfizer Global R&D Informatics, "Actional further enhances our existing security model, by allowing us to secure our business processes from end-to-end, essentially closing off vulnerabilities along the 'last mile' in our SOA network, and preventing potential governance issues. Combined with the performance and improved end user experience offered by the Actional Web browser interface, we believe the Actional products will provide us with a powerful platform to manage our SOA initiatives."
