1. The Importance Of Compliance In R&D 6/29/2021

   Regardless of the industry an organization operates in, remaining compliant with ever-changing legislation is an important aspect of corporate operations. For businesses that focus on research and development (R&D) however, it’s essential. This is because of the frequently high-risk nature of the products being developed, and the potential for harm if there is an oversight during the testing process.

2. The Importance Of Metadata 6/3/2021

   Are you clear on the role of metadata? Today there is an urgent need for the pharmaceutical industry to improve their data infrastructure to support metadata collection and curation so that data can be used and reused. This is because data don’t have much meaning without their accompanying metadata. Metadata comes with data; it gives it context. Simply put, metadata are bit of information permanently linked to raw data and will guarantee it has context.

3. Transforming Your Bioanalytical Operations 5/19/2021

   A combination of controlled, compliant workflow execution and dramatically streamlined data acquisition is the next phase of innovation within bioanalysis.

4. Are You Buying An Informatics System For Your R&D? 5/19/2021

   This white paper starts by discussing the disjointed workflow arising from trying to integrate different digital informatics systems, followed by the consolidated approach where all systems from one vendor are integrated into one suite.

5. High-Throughput Data Management Process Development 5/19/2021

   Only now are companies starting to realize that even the current generation of modern lab informatics is unable to truly harness the full potential of high-throughput.

6. Why You Need To Digitally Transform Your R&D Organization 4/19/2021

   Despite many companies considering digital transformation a top priority, research shows that 70% of digital transformation initiatives fail. In this eBook, we explore why and how the right approach can see your organization succeed.

7. Why Is Communication In Biopharma Failing? 4/19/2021

   When collaborating with external partners, a biopharma company must anticipate communication challenges related to a large volume and variety of documents, regulation-compliant storage of data, and real-time visibility and control. This paper shows how an online collaboration system can bring all contract organizations together with the biopharma company while overcoming challenges.

8. Achieving A F.A.I.R. Data Management Strategy 3/23/2021

   Recently many industry leaders have been highlighting the problems of not having F.A.I.R. data. For example, a recent report estimates that data that is not findable, understandable or has incomplete metadata introduces inefficiencies and negatively impact research quality, ultimately costing the European economy in excess of €26 billion per year. In this white paper, we explore what the F.A.I.R. principles mean in practical terms for your R&D data management strategy before describing how IDBS enables organizations to make their scientific data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable and mitigate the costs of not being F.A.I.R.

9. Are You F.A.I.R? 3/22/2021

   In the scientific space, data is a key ingredient to innovation, which can have a powerful impact on society, such as a medical breakthrough. To get the most out of data, you must ensure it is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable – F.A.I.R. for short. But in most organizations, that is not the case. Learn more about how you can change that using the F.A.I.R. principles, which have been recognized as standards to enable for that potential to be realized.

10. Money Wasted Because Studies Can’t Be Replicated 2/16/2021

    In recent years, as computing power has increased, cloud software has been widely adopted and data sets have grown, it has become more and more evident that scientists are unable to generate the same results, even while using the same data sets. If studies cannot be replicated and the same conclusions reached, it undermines the credibility of scientists, and of science itself. In this article, we’ll look at why this issue is so wide-spread and how we can address it.
