Guildford, UK, 05 June 2007 – IDBS, a leading provider of data management,
analysis and decision support software, today announced the release of the
latest version of its E-WorkBook Suite – the compliant, secure and extensible
Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) designed for research scientists of any
discipline.
IDBS’ E-WorkBook Suite, which is now comprised of E-WorkBook, BioBook and
ChemBook, is a flexible and configurable ELN that supports the capture of data,
information and knowledge in one secure and compliant infrastructure.
Combined with specific functions requested by current users, the latest version
of E-WorkBook Suite offers research scientists enhanced meta data capture and
searching. Furthermore, E-WorkBook Suite 7.0 now allows PDF document generation
and storage within the application, providing industry-standard IP protection
alongside GLP compliance and extended security features. Significant
functionality has also been added to BioBook, including advanced statistics
(ANOVA, TTESTs etc), extended graphing support and enhanced reporting features.
This further consolidates BioBook’s position as the biological ELN solution for
biologists.
The latest release now includes leading-edge integration capabilities through a
web services layer coupled with an application program interface (API) to
provide an extensible and flexible solution. Following on from the release of
BioBook in 2006, E-WorkBook Suite 7.0 also includes enhancements in the areas of
biological data capture and storage. In addition, a new discipline-specific
extension, ChemBook, has been designed specifically to support the workflows of
synthetic, medicinal and analytical chemists.
“Regulatory compliance and IP protection are fundamental to the commercial
success of research organizations, and are the primary drivers behind many ELN
initiatives,” commented Neil Kipling, founder and CEO of IDBS. “The E-WorkBook
Suite boosts research productivity by promoting knowledge sharing across an
organization and is highly adaptable to meet the needs of all research
scientists. Performance and scalability enhancements within the latest release
set the standard for large scale implementation and data management.”
