Migrating to SharePoint with Glaxosmithkline

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, has scientific and pharmaceutical roots dating back to the 18th century. In Türkiye, the company has been operating since around 1959 and also hosts the headquarters of the GSK MEA Region, which consists of 30 countries.

The migration of this strategically important organization's corporate business processes from Lotus Notes to Microsoft SharePoint Server was successfully carried out by BBS.

Through this transformation:

The company's business processes gained a more modern, secure, and flexible infrastructure.
Knowledge sharing and collaboration among employees became more efficient.
A digital structure aligned with global standards was established, advancing GSK's digitalization journey.

In addition, GSK Türkiye's Intranet portal was redesigned and relaunched by BBS, enabling internal communication to be conducted on a more user-friendly, interactive, and effective platform.

With this project, GSK has taken its digital transformation one step further—both in its Türkiye operations and in its role as a regional management hub.
