Symyx Technologies Inc., a market leader in
scientific information management, has authored a new application note
(http://www.symyx.com/bt95_instruments_appnote.pdf) that discusses why many
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical and consumer product organisations are
adopting a single, organisation-wide enterprise electronic notebook
strategy.

It is widely accepted that the electronic laboratory notebook
(ELN) is an essential tool in today's dynamic scientific R&D landscape.
Improving R&D efficiency means optimising the everyday tasks of scientists.
ELNs allow scientists to focus on laboratory work rather than the documentation,
while at the same time enabling them to share experimental results and learn
from institutional knowledge and prior art.
The application note
discusses why more and more organisations are demanding a single enterprise lab
notebook that improves productivity, operational agility and the ability to do
more for less. A single notebook deployed across the enterprise can be used
across multiple scientific disciplines, as well as across the entire R&D
spectrum - from early discovery to late-phase development, and onto early
manufacturing. By centrally and consistently capturing information
scientific informatics, the paper describes how an enterprise ELN can foster
workflow optimisation, process consistency, collaboration, and improved
productivity through knowledge sharing. The key importance for the enterprise
ELN to support integration with wide ranging tools, workflows, laboratory
apparatus, lab automation software, and data management systems is discussed.
