Teva is a major global pharmaceutical manufacturer, with manufacturing sites in Israel, the U.S. and Europe and 7,000 employees worldwide. The company develops and markets generic and branded human pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients, medical disposables and veterinary products.
After carefully reviewing several competing solutions, Teva chose Unicenter TNG to automate the management and support of its highly complex IT environment and to realize a significant reduction in administrative overhead costs.
Specifically, Unicenter TNG ` s automated support infrastructure will allow Teva system administrators to remotely diagnose problems and rapidly administer solutions online; thereby minimizing system downtime while promoting enhanced availability and operational efficiency.
