挑战
The Pesticides Safety Directorate (PSD), an executive agency of the UK Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, was facing the challenge of keeping pace with rising regulatory challenges without increasing costs. The organization’s mission encompasses ensuring the safety, effectiveness, and regulatory compliance of plant protection products used by both industry and amateur gardeners; regulating a market worth around £450 million in the UK and a similar figure in overseas exports; and shaping UK policies on pesticide issues – all with a staff of only 200. Technology plays a vital role in making this possible. Most recently, Park’s group was called on to deliver a particularly high-profile project – enabling the electronic delivery of all services, followed by the introduction of a complete, end-to-end electronic workflow for the entire new product application and approval process.
关于客户
The Pesticides Safety Directorate (PSD) is an executive agency of the UK Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs. The organization’s mission encompasses ensuring the safety, effectiveness, and regulatory compliance of plant protection products used by both industry and amateur gardeners. It also regulates a market worth around £450 million in the UK and a similar figure in overseas exports, and shapes UK policies on pesticide issues. The agency operates with a staff of only 200, making efficiency paramount. Technology is central to the organization and is the backbone of everything that they do.
解决方案
PSD’s database technology of choice is Ingres Database, the leading open source database for business-critical applications. Today, PSD runs Ingres Database on Windows 2003, where it services tens of thousands of internal queries and serves between 300,000 and 500,000 Web pages each month. Ingres has earned PSD’s loyalty through its reliability and robustness. For its latest initiatives, the flexibility of Ingres Database, combined with the OpenROAD open source application development environment, provide a cost-effective platform to deliver new capabilities. In the next phase of the project, Park’s group will digitize the completion and submission of product applications – a process which now involves incoming paper forms being manually logged into the Ingres-based system.
