Story
Astellas grew institutional knowledge faster than the local tools around it. From Japan, health care teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Specialists and new hires were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Brandfolder put documentation on Smartsheet. Smartsheet is a work management platform that uses familiar sheet views to run projects, processes, and portfolios. Astellas keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so specialists and new hires do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier documentation. Institutional knowledge is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join specialists and new hires without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
