SAN DIEGO, Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Accelrys, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ACCL), a leading provider of scientific innovation
lifecycle management solutions, announced today the release of
Accelrys Notebook 5.0, a flexible, multi-discipline electronic
laboratory notebook (ELN) with significant new capabilities for
customizing work environments and connecting to existing laboratory
software without complex integration and advanced programming
support. As an easy-to-use ELN that deploys out of the box on
premises or in the cloud, Accelrys Notebook 5.0 eases the
transition to the digital lab, enhancing the way researchers
capture, share and reuse experimental information, ultimately
helping organizations move innovative new products to market more
quickly.
"As laboratories generate more and more data, old paper-based
systems for managing that data are no longer adequate," said
Michael Elliott, chief executive
officer of market research firm Atrium Research. "However, our most
recent survey has found that simplicity in deployment, use,
maintenance and upgrades has become among the most important
selection factors―and criteria―for successful implementations of
electronic lab notebooks. The market is shifting to require
the basic capabilities to move from paper to digital notebooks,
with low cost-of-ownership and a simple user experience."
Designed to meet the requirements of laboratories needing to
manage an increasing amount of data with low
total-cost-of-ownership, Accelrys Notebook 5.0 offers these
specific enhancements:
- Easy to configure – Organizations can easily configure
Accelrys Notebook to support their workflows, applications and
environment without enlisting additional services support.
Researchers with little or no software experience can create, test
and publish scientific protocols that make it easier to access,
analyze and report data. Further integration with the Accelrys
Enterprise Platform and Accelrys Pipeline Pilot workflow authoring
application enables customers to quickly connect Accelrys Notebook
5.0 with existing lab software including laboratory informatics,
materials and inventory management systems, with no advanced
programming required.
- Improved productivity and immediate access – By making
it possible to easily search and find experiment data, observations
and results, Accelrys Notebook 5.0 eliminates the need to repeat
experiments―saving researchers time and boosting productivity.
Immediate updates and notifications allow global partners to share
information instantly. Digital signatures and workflow alerts
improve intellectual property protection.
- Fast user adoption – A simple user interface and
easy-to-use features significantly reduce training time, resulting
in accelerated adoption and fast deployment. Researchers can store,
search and share Accelrys Notebook entries from any location and
the notebook can be configured to work securely inside and outside
the corporate firewall.
Accelrys Notebook 5.0 features a web-based client, in addition
to the traditional desktop client, supporting the demands of
globalization in the scientific enterprise. Researchers can capture
observations and experimental data at the moment they occur via
web-client on desktops, laptops and select mobile devices.
"Paper-based labs hinder accurate documentation and knowledge
sharing, both of which are essential for scientific organizations
to innovate and move new products to market quickly and
compliantly," said Leif E. Pedersen,
senior vice president of marketing, product management and
corporate development at Accelrys. "Accelrys has consistently
earned the praise of industry analysts covering laboratory
informatics, and the latest release of Accelrys Notebook sets the
bar even higher. Organizations can now quickly and easily integrate
Accelrys Notebook into a laboratory ecosystem supporting
end-to-end, sustainable innovation in scientific product lifecycle
management."
