Research and Development is at the core of the Biotech companies. The current business environment is characterized by increased competition, tougher government regulations, and higher consumer demands.

In this environment Biotech companies are challenged to:

• Deliver innovative products on time
• Assure product safety
• Keep competitive costs

Efficiency of the product discovery process can be significantly improved by using Information Technology to shorten development cycle, by implementing solutions such as:

• Storage and cataloging of research documentation, designs, tests and results
• Integration, sharing and correlation of information among the different groups involved in the R&D process
• Compliance with ever more complex government regulations
• Hardening of security to safeguard intellectual property assets
