Tripos Announces Benchware Discovery 360
New Software Boosts Discovery Productivity; Scientists Now Able to Access and Analyze Enterprise Chemical and Biological Data from a Single Integrated Desktop Discovery Environment
Boston - Tripos, Inc., a leading provider of drug discovery informatics products and chemistry research, today announced Benchware Discovery 360, a new software solution enabling discovery scientists to easily access and analyze enterprisewide chemical and biological research data from within a single integrated desktop discovery environment. Benchware Discovery 360 was unveiled at the Drug Discovery Technology & Development World Congress in Boston, and becomes the newest member of the Benchware family of applications designed especially for laboratory scientists, including discovery chemists and biologists.
Benchware Discovery 360 provides scientists and research managers with a single point of entry from which they can access, analyze and share data from disparate enterprise repositories of biological and chemical data. In addition, Benchware Discovery 360 integrates seamlessly with applications from other vendors, providing researchers access to their favorite analysis and productivity tools. These capabilities enable life science organizations to gain better insight into their drug discovery projects, improve scientific collaboration, and allow discovery teams to fully realize the value in the data they are generating.
Benchware Discovery 360 is based on the award-winning SMART-IDEA informatics system that Tripos originally built in collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., and which is also forming the basis of a next-generation discovery IT solution, announced earlier this year, for Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. The Bristol-Myers Squibb implementation is currently deployed to 1,000 users throughout the U.S. and Canada. It allows scientists and team leaders to access and analyze essential project information on demand, resulting in improved decision-making and better overall discovery performance.
"Many of today's discovery data warehouse solutions require chemists and biologists to become information technology specialists instead of more informed and agile discovery scientists," said Bryan Koontz, senior vice president and general manager of Discovery Informatics for Tripos. "Instead of wasting valuable time formulating complicated queries or being forced to become Microsoft Excel experts, project teams using Benchware Discovery 360 can now quickly find, analyze and act on the research data they need, no matter where it exists inside their company. The result is a substantial improvement to a company's overall discovery performance."
