Mircosoft has published a case study (Adobe Acrobat file, 214 Kb) highlighting the collaboration between PPD and ProtonMedia in developing PPD®3D. The unified, virtual workplace joins PPD's clinical research teams with clients, delivering high-quality voice, data and social networking technology in an immersive 3-D environment.
The case study emphasizes how PPD 3D, a custom-tailored version of ProtoSphere Lync Edition 2010, creates a virtual world environment available any time and from any location to train clinical research associates and collaborate. PPD 3D has proven its ability to increase employee engagement in training programs vital to the successful completion of clinical research programs.
