Pfizer-Talent Management System

The earlier processes that Pfizer had been using to collect talent-related
data gave disintegrated data that required a lot of effort and time to collate
and analyze. The HR department felt the need to have an integrated talent
management system which would create a pool of ready talent for optimal
deployment, and empower the workforce to manage and track their individual
growth. To achieve this, the Business Technology team and HR department decided
to implement a cost-effective, scalable and secure web-based talent management
system called 'Asset'. This system has the capability to identify candidates for
suitable positions, creating succession plans. The system is based on Windows
2003 Server and SQL Server 2000 and integrates with Outlook 2003 to send
automatic notifications and alerts to the relevant people. This n-tier solution
is developed in ASP and designed using Windows DNA Architecture to address the
requirements of each tier in the multi-tier solution. The services used in
Windows DNA are integrated through COM (Component Object Model). It sends
automated e-mail to immediate boss, once a person finishes filling up his form.
