Fortune 1000 Pharmaceutical Company Online Presentation Builder

A Fortune 1000, Major Pharmaceutical Company (MPC) develops and markets a prominent diabetes drug. To support the promotion of this drug, a Speakers Bureau was created in 1999, in which physicians were recruited to speak about the drug.  Since 1999, the Speakers Bureau has grown significantly, consisting of 4776 programs given in 2002 by 1450 physician speakers. 

In support of the Speakers Bureau’s growth, MPC wanted to redesign its Speakers Bureau's web site.  MPC sought to make this new site an easy-to-use tool that would allow their Bureau speakers to 1.) receive news and updates regarding the Speakers Bureau and the diabetes drug  product, 2.) acquire predefined PowerPoint slide presentations, and 3.) create and store custom PowerPoint presentations as required by their personal program needs.
