ISDIN + Magnolia
Fostering employee communication and engagement with MyISDIN
Sobre la historia del cliente
ISDIN was born from a joint venture between Laboratorios Esteve and the Puig Group, leaders in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sector.
This alliance translates into a fusion of scientific rigour and aesthetic pleasure, present in all its creations, which for more than 50 years have focused on consumers' relationship with their skin.
The MyISDIN employee platform
ISDIN created MyISDIN with Magnolia and Seidor to replace their old intranet, which lacked interactivity and a sense of community. Magnolia was chosen for its modularity, customization, and strong internal communication features, enabling a platform that aligns with ISDIN’s purpose of inspiring health, happiness, and beauty. Unlike traditional HR tools, MyISDIN serves as a holistic employee community, fostering engagement, simplifying processes, and aligning personal and corporate goals while offering intuitive design, relevant content, and seamless integrations.
The Challenge
Unifying a Disconnected Global Workforce
As a leading company in the Pharma & Biotech industry with a rapidly expanding global footprint, ISDIN faced the challenge of connecting its diverse and widespread workforce. The company had developed an MVP to test employee needs but required a powerful technology platform to scale this vision. Their existing setup lacked a centralized communication system and made it difficult to achieve their goal of building a seamless Authenticated Portal. This fragmentation created a disconnected employee experience and meant that integrating with essential satellite systems like SAP and SuccessFactors was slow and complex, hindering internal agility and the fostering of a unified company culture.
The Solution
"MyISDIN": A Centralized Portal to Connect and Empower
ISDIN chose Magnolia after a thorough technology assessment conducted with their partner, SEIDOR. Magnolia was selected as the platform that best met their needs for agility and simple, fast integration. The implementation, professionally managed by SEIDOR, was noted as a major success for its smooth collaboration across many teams without significant issues.
Using Magnolia, ISDIN built "MyISDIN", a comprehensive employee portal. The platform's powerful integration capabilities were critical, enabling ISDIN to connect disparate systems from SAP, SuccessFactors, and Google into one central hub. This solved the problem of a fragmented digital workplace by giving employees a single point of access for all their daily needs, including managing vacations, accessing training, and viewing employee benefits.
The Result
A More Agile, Connected, and Effective Workplace
The implementation of the "MyISDIN" portal was a definitive technological step forward for the company. The primary result is a "much more agile and effective communication system" between the company and its employees. This has translated directly into high business value by increasing employee engagement and embedding the company culture into their daily routines. The new portal provides a frictionless employee experience by centralizing all essential tasks and information. Furthermore, by simplifying the integration architecture, Magnolia has increased ISDIN's IT agility, allowing for faster and easier development of future digital initiatives.
"The benefits we have achieved since switching to Magnolia, have been overall, creating a much more agile and effective communication system between employer-employee, employee-employer. And, in turn, Magnolia enables a much quicker and simpler integration in terms of satellite system development, whether on SAP, SuccessFactors, Google, etc."
