Intranet Portal for Global Clinical Research Organization

Intranet Portal for Global Clinical Research Organization

We developed a Liferay DXP-based intranet platform for a leading global drug research company to enhance internal communication and collaboration.  

The solution uses ReactJS portlets for speed, customizable site templates for easy content management, and a user-friendly dashboard. It supports various file types, features hierarchical user permissions and custom workflows, integrates ElasticSearch for efficient content retrieval, and includes auditing tools to monitor user activity and performance. This addresses the client’s needs for professional support, easy customization, and enhanced internal connectivity.
