KineMatik Electronic Laboratory Notebook is Solution to Increased Productivity

R&D companies in the life sciences vertical are facing significant and unprecedented challenges to increase their productivity and ROI by introducing new blockbuster medicines while simultaneously facing significant pressures from generic drug manufacturers, mergers and acquisitions and added regulatory constraints. In their quest for added productivity, improved ROI and added efficiencies in product development, Pharma and Biotech companies are seeking technology solutions which support the globalization of research by facilitating the breakdown of R&D data silos, improving workflow coordination and providing access to research data without geographic boundaries.

KineMatik’s Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) answers a critical need by functioning as a primary repository of institutional knowledge to support learning, knowledge repurposing and scientific collaboration. Furthermore, KineMatik’s ELN can be integrated with other hardware and software tools common to the R&D lab leading to optimized scientific procedures by providing a collaboration platform across scientific teams and departments without geographic limitation. Additionally, the ELN protects valuable intellectual property by enforcing IP policies, defending against potential litigation and ensuring compliance with internal and external regulatory mandates thereby ultimately allowing scientist to focus on innovation.

KineMatik’s solution is highly differentiated from its competitors as it is the only ELN that is built on top of SharePoint 2010, a powerful Enterprise Content Management platform that allows for the management of an organization's unstructured information, by using tools to capture, manage, store and preserve, documents. The recent introduction of KineMatik’s ELN built on Microsoft (News - Alert) SharePoint 2010 joins the already successful suite of applications built upon Open Text’s Content Server platform.

KineMatik’s ELN extends SharePoint 2010’s functionality to include experiments, lab notes, publishing of experiments to Microsoft Word and PDF, automated processes and integration with lab equipment, thus providing unprecedented access through a state-of-the-art platform well known to the R&D community. Scientists and researchers today need to be in charge of their own data in real time, and can no longer rely on paper-based notes or basic collaboration tools as methods to accelerate research and discovery. An Electronic Laboratory Notebook built on the SharePoint 2010 platform offers a compelling value proposition, with necessary capabilities including enterprise search, metadata management and social media tools, resulting in a strong basis for collaboration across an entire R&D organization.

Microsoft has placed high strategic value on integrating an ELN onto its Sharepoint platform and has chosen KineMatik as a key partner by awarding it “Life Sciences Managed Partner” status for 2011 and 2012. Microsoft is actively participating in KineMatik’s product development, marketing and sales.
