Guildford, UK, 26th November 2007 – IDBS is pleased to announce that Spanish
start-up biotechnology company, OrphaMed (Valladolid), has licensed ActivityBase
Suite and E-WorkBook to manage its complete drug discovery workflow.
Focusing initially on research for new drug indications for haematological
cancers, OrphaMed sought a comprehensive data management solution that could
easily store all of its research data. ActivityBase XE and E-WorkBook, IDBS’
versatile electronic laboratory notebook (ELN, integrate seamlessly to deliver
the high level of flexibility demanded by OrphaMed’s scientists.
Juan Ballesteros, Chief Scientific Officer and Co-founder of OrphaMed,
commented: “We required a solution that could easily manage all our diverse
research data across three major research sites. Already being aware of
ActivityBase and IDBS’ track record, we approached them looking for an
integrated data management system. ActivityBase XE’s superior flexibility is
highly adaptable for our changing research needs and processes. Additionally, E-WorkBook
will allow us to store all our research data and notes and comply with
regulatory standards for clinical data in one secure environment, which will in
turn lead to enhanced decision making.”
Neil Kipling, founder and CEO of IDBS, commented: “We have worked extensively
with our customers to develop products and services that help scientists realize
the full potential of their research data. OrphaMed required a dynamic solution
and our integrated offering of E-WorkBook and ActivityBase provided this.” He
added: “Rather than just sell products, IDBS adopts a partnership approach to
ensure we provide solutions that truly match requirements. Our highly qualified
domain experts worked closely with OrphaMed to help them achieve their business
goals.”
