“It’s raising the productivity of the individual, the teams, and eventually raising the productivity of the enterprise. That’s going to be our future at Lilly.”

The cutting-edge tools and seamless integration offered by Microsoft 365 don’t just help new businesses grow and evolve. Right now, Microsoft 365 is helping one of America’s longest-running companies set new standards for teamwork and collaboration.

A major player in pharmaceuticals, Lilly was founded by chemist and Civil War veteran Eli Lilly in the 1870s. Despite the company’s long history, Lilly truly helped shape the world of today. It’s almost impossible to imagine modern life without Lilly staples like Prozac and Cialis.

Although based in Indianapolis, Lilly maintains offices in 18 countries around the world. That makes collaboration difficult, especially given the complicated and regulation-heavy process of developing new drugs.
