Open enterprise R&D platform speeds deployment of cutting-edge technology and science
SAN DIEGO, Jul 27, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Accelrys, Inc. /quotes/zigman/93157 ACCL +5.67% , a leading scientific enterprise R&D software and services company, today announced that a continuing partnership with Toronto-based chemistry software company ACD/Labs is enabling pharmaceutical, chemical and biochemical companies around the world to work more efficiently and productively by deploying ACD/Labs analytical component collection on the Accelrys Pipeline Pilot(TM) enterprise R&D platform. Pipeline Pilot is an open, high-performance scientific data pipelining and information management platform that optimizes research innovation, increases operational efficiency and reduces costs for research and IT organizations alike.
"The partnership between Accelrys and ACD/Labs is a high-value win for our mutual customers," said Dr. Trevor Heritage, executive vice president of software products at Accelrys. "Software compatibility between ACD/Labs' tools and our enterprise R&D platform enables the broad and rapid adoption, deployment and management of cutting-edge technology and science across our shared customer community."
As an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) in the Accelrys Partner Program since 2005, ACD/Labs most recently made their analytical component collection available in the Pipeline Pilot environment. This software integration accelerates the dissemination of world-class informatics solutions in spectroscopic data processing and prediction, property prediction, analytical knowledge management and interactive reporting of scientific data. Integration with Pipeline Pilot's powerful scientific information processing, automation, analysis and integration functionality helps organizations using ACD/Name, ACD/PhysChem Suite, ACD/ADME Suite, ACD/Tox Suite and ACD/Labs' analytical tools move new products from lab to market more quickly and efficiently.
ACD/Labs' analytical component collection enables import, processing, handling and interpretation of analytical data. It supports scientists in building an analytical knowledge-base of spectra, chromatograms and metadata from a variety of analytical techniques including NMR, LC/MS, UV-Vis, IR, Raman, chromatography, x-ray powder diffraction and other analytical techniques. The analytical component collection provides great value to scientists using Pipeline Pilot through ACD/Labs' collaborations with most major instrument vendors, resulting in support of more than 100 file formats.
"By responding to the requests of our joint customer base and working together to add ACD/Labs analytical processing and knowledge management functionality to the Accelrys Pipeline Pilot enterprise R&D platform, ACD/Labs and Accelrys have created a powerful channel for streamlining research productivity," said Hans de Bie, director of informatics at ACD/Labs.
