Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Case Study

Posted on: February 13th, 2013

The research facility at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals has over 5,000 employees in a multi-building campus which includes a fully staffed conference center. Being a global leader in the pharmaceutical industry requires that Wyeth takes a global approach to video conferencing and communication. To meet this requirement it is critical that the internal meeting support group at Wyeth is skilled at producing large video centric meetings. With help and guidance from IMS Technology Services Wyeth was easily able to leverage our expertise in audio visual design and systems integration to run their most important business meetings.

When the Wyeth internal meetings group initiated a high profile project to expand their video and collaborative conferencing system, they were looking or a partner that could help them enhance the ability of their 70 seat conference room. Besides enhancement to the audio visual components, Wyeth also wanted to upgrade the furnishings and interior finishes of the room. Additionally, they needed to raise part of the floor for handicap accessibility. IMS Technology Services was chosen to collaborate with their facilities, lighting, GC and AV staff in order to complete the design build of this multi-use High Definition Video Conference and Global communications hub. For Wyeth’s top executives and scientists this room was viewed as critical for communicating across various divisions and countries within the Wyeth organization.

Upon completion of the project the upgraded conference room included:

  • 70 seat table configuration featuring 35 integrated 4” Clock Audio RF Rejection goose neck microphones, each with its own mute button.
  • A Custom programmed Biamp Audia Flex as the DSP of the audio system.
  • Custom programmed 15” Crestron Touch panel features, HD video preview and control of all aspects of the AV system.
  • Video/Audio Conferencing.
  • Lighting and Shades.
  • Four Automated Sony HD PTZ Cameras used with a Polycom HDX 9004 System allowing dynamic HD video for all participants to be seen and heard.
  • Display systems included a 42” confidence display integrated opposite the lectern.
  • 2 -58” Panasonic Professional HD displays flanking a 6000 Lumen HD Panasonic 3 Chip DLP Projection System. 
  • A 40” lectern which can be active from one of two locations w/integrated microphone, AV sources and controls.

All in all, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals required a high tech, fully integrated hub capable of communicating across various divisions and countries within the Wyeth organization. Using our unique design-build methodology for systems integration earned IMS Technology Services a “A” on every aspect of the project from Wyeth. Providing design and implementation services under one contract with a single point of accountability made our partnership with Wyeth a success.
