Forcefield
Forcefield Therapeutics partnered with Zenzero to implement a secure Microsoft 365 environment that streamlined collaboration, protected sensitive data, and supported outsourced research and development.
Forcefield Therapeutics, a Syncona-backed biotech company, is pioneering therapies to preserve heart function following myocardial infarction. With a lean internal team of five and a business model centred around outsourced research and development, Forcefield needed an IT environment that was agile, secure, and scalable – without the overhead of traditional infrastructure.
Zenzero was engaged to design and implement a Microsoft 365-based environment that would support Forcefield’s collaborative workflows, secure document management, and low-maintenance IT operations – all while enabling seamless interaction with external research partners and vendors.
