SparkLab: 360° Bio-computing On-demand
27 Feb 2009Life sciences and biomedical research has undergone a revolutionary change in the last few years, yielding enormous amounts of knowledge, which has not yet been accompanied by a new efficient methodology of workflow design, control and management.
Today’s scientific research environment is characterized by paper notebooks, ELN’s (Electronic Laboratory Notebook) or LIMS’s, which provide basic data capture and documentation. The management of this information requires an abundance of resources through a long and complex process of deployment, and in the end it lacks:
o Accelerating R&D processes
o Complying with all R&D disciplines and methods
o Integration of R&D, pre-clinic and clinical phases
o Integration with bio-informatics and analytics tools
o Collaboration and knowledge sharing
o Scientific search engine and experiment comparison tools
o Truly intuitive user experience
o Transparency and management control
o Enhance research success rate
For most life science organizations the product development takes too long; to tackle this problem life sciences organizations are increasingly looking to IT and better tools to improve research productivity.
SparkLix has identified the need for faster, more efficient and more accurate R&D processes as well as management, utilization, sharing and analysis of all kinds of data. All in a flexible and cost-effective solution which addresses a range of changing needs.
SparkLix developed SparkLab - a one-stop-shop for biotechnology, pharmaceutical and R&D organizations.
The SparkLab application is all about accelerating scientific exploration and helping meet the ever-changing needs of today's highly competitive research environment.
SparkLab covers the entire life cycle of Biotech and Pharmaceutical companies (integrated research, development, pre-clinical and clinical trials), all R&D disciplines, whole research paths aswell as cross-organization collaborations and transparency wrapped with Business Intelligence (B.I). This approach enables scientists to focus on the research and enables management visibility and control across the business and research progress.
SparkLab integrates all aspects of the R&D and clinical process, and provides the end user with all the tools needed and when they are needed; through a clear and intuitive interface. An ultimate scientific search engine which advances comparison and information management.
SparkLab keeps managers updated at real-time, able to drill down, analyze and plan their R&D team, clinical process and business performance.
SparkLab is delivered “Software as a Service” (SaaS) on Demand to meet the company size and scale. SparkLab is easy to deploy, there is no need of software installation or complex hardware requirement and is ready to use from day one.
SparkLab's innovative technology enhances data flow and integration, partner collaboration, transparency and manager control.
SparkLab accelerates time to market, reduce research costs and increases revenue, profitability, productivity, management control, resilience and business performance.
SparkLab shines on R&D, labs and company R.O.I.
