Adopted by 200 additional users in
over ten research organizations since the previous version 7.0 was released in
May 2007, IDBS’ E-WorkBook Suite has a diverse customer base now estimated at
over 3,500 users globally.
Comprised of E-WorkBook, BioBook and ChemBook, E-WorkBook Suite allows greater
productivity for research scientists by automating data capture and storage. E-WorkBook
Suite supports the capture of corporate data, information and knowledge in one
secure infrastructure, promoting regulatory compliance and increasing
organizational efficiency.
Combined with specific functionality requested by current users, E-WorkBook
Suite 7.1 offers greater search flexibility and enhanced graphing and charting
within the BioBook module. Furthermore, additional integration points and web
services included in version 7.1 allow organizations to automate the exchange of
any data both to and from other systems. In addition, E-WorkBook Suite 7.1 now
allows digital signatures to be applied to PDFs and provides associated taskflow
support for this process, thereby extending its industry-standard IP protection.
Neil Kipling, founder and CEO of IDBS, commented: “IDBS is more than just an ELN
provider. Our expertise in data management and our partnership approach to our
customers have made E-WorkBook the first ELN that can be applied as a generic
data management framework while also providing discipline-specific support,
enabling scientists to extract maximum value from their data.” He added: “This
latest release reflects our continued commitment to our customers. The standard
solution that IDBS delivers exceeds the expectations and requirements expressed
by the industry, further consolidating our position as the leading biology ELN
provider.”
