MORE THAN
Site proliferation and fragmentation– 410 information-based sites, 10,000 team sites – Info sites lack consistent look, feel, common
navigation– No single access point or consistent means for
connecting among sites
Inability to capture, track user satisfaction, site utility– No common means to measure satisfaction; no
consistent method to identify productivity improvement opportunities
Significant costs– Info-based sites cost $50,000–$250,000 to create
Our Original Technology Challenge
Course of Action
• Moved to SharePoint 2007
• Began building team – Business Technology and Communications – to create PfizerWorld Super Site Platform
• Shaped long-term vision for site and broader platform
• Reset editorial standards
The Broader Approach
• “Guidance without prescription” – policy, guidelines and other tools designed to enable intranet improvement; not to control content
• Committed to the “One Pfizer” ideal – vision, purpose and goals align online channels to strengthen “One Pfizer” communications
• Continuous Improvement – keep costs down, utility and usability high
• Clear Governance – Intranet Governance Committee with representatives from across enterprise and functions

Colleague Comments on MyWorld
“MyWorld [makes it] easy to get connected with my global colleagues and learn his/her thoughts. It makes me feel [as] if I were actually talking physically there.”
Kyoko Tominaga, Pfizer Medical, Japan
“I think this is a great facility for colleagues. The potential benefits on an individual & business basis of being able to reach out to a bank of 100,000 people globally are immense.”
Liam O'Carroll, Pfizer Global Supply, Ireland
“Like many, I'm a big fan of the capabilities that our internal social media provides. Giving colleagues a virtual agora provides benefits that most cannot even fathom yet.”
Daniel Morrissey, Consumer Healthcare, U.S.
“I find the new social networking features an integral part of my day. The ability to leverage the knowledge of Pfizer colleagues across the globe has greatly improved my ability to support the Oncology Business Unit and my other clients.”
Jason Abner, Business Technology, U.S.
Where We’re Going
• Continued build-out of Super Site Platform, albeit slower growth
• Continued growth of MyWorld
• Virtual environment campus extension
• SharePoint 2010 Deployment
