Cloud Computing

Overview

What is Cloud Computing?

Today our customers want faster, more reliable and less costly access to enterprise scientific software. The CambridgeSoft Cloud Solution delivers proven scientific software and content directly to businesses, research institutes, and universities over the Internet.

What are the Benefits of Cloud Computing?

Staffing and running an IT department is not core to the research activities of today’s life science companies. By leveraging cloud computing, customers do not need to own or maintain the physical infrastructure serving the software to their scientists. Cloud customers also benefit by reducing the burden on their IT systems and staff, freeing them to focus on other areas of the business. Instead, a large pool of customers share the infrastructure and IT costs resulting in lower management overhead, low up-front costs, and immediate access to the full range of applications in the CambridgeSoft Cloud.p>

Key customer benefits include:

• Affordability - access to world class enterprise software without the typical ownership costs and little to no IT infrastructure needed
• Agility - rapid and inexpensive deployment of the software
• Security - centralized data and applications hosted at a secure data center with optional 24x7 support
• Convenience - location independence with delivery of applications to all a customer’s users regardless of where they are located
• Reliability - redundant servers and disaster recovery at data center with 24x7 monitoring
• Scalability – start with as little as 5 users and scale up to thousands

What is the ChemBioOffice Cloud?

The ChemBioOffice Cloud Ultra is the premier life science solution offering from CambridgeSoft.

Solution Offerings:

• ChemBioOffice Cloud

  CambridgeSoft has been providing ChemBioOffice Enterprise solutions for over 10 years with an installed base covering thousands of users at mid-sized to multi-national organizations. We now offer the same scientist-developed and tested applications to customers of all sizes through the ChemBioOffice Cloud.

• BioAssay Cloud

  BioAssay Cloud provides flexible storage, retrieval and analysis of biological data supporting low-throughput, DMPK, medium-throughput, plate-based, and high-throughput assays. Designed for complex lead optimization workflows, the software supports the quick set-up of a large variety of biological models. BioAssay Cloud includes support for laboratory automation, calculations, statistics, and also complicated low- and medium-throughput assays such as animal models and in vivo experiments.

• Inventory Cloud

  Inventory Cloud manages data associated with both commercially procured and internally produced materials, from procurement or initial production through depletion and disposal (i.e., cradle-to-grave tracking). Inventory Cloud includes plate handling for HTS environments, freezer/rack layout and targeting for managing biologicals, full chain-of-custody, audit trails and reports for GxP and EH&S compliance, request/disbursement workflow for use in both manufacturing and pre-clinical settings, and features tailored to specific material domains.

• E-Notebook Cloud

  Numerous options exist for E-Notebook Cloud configurations for all areas of research and development with full compliance with CFR 21 Part 11 and other regulations. Different workflows ranging from free-form in research to highly structured data entry in GLP environments are supported. Distinct modules exist to support important requirements such as electronic signatures, storage of large amounts of supplementary data, patent reporting, formulation development, screening experiments, method development and validation and batch analysis.

• Registration Cloud

  Registration Cloud is built with a robust data model for pure compounds, batches, salt management, automatic duplicate checking (including tautomer and stereoselective seach), and unique ID assignments. Built on the CambridgeSoft Oracle Cartridge, it can scale to millions of compounds, apply chemical drawing rules (structure normalization), and can be configured for other molecular entities, such as macromolecules and biologicals. Compounds may be entered individually through a user-friendly web form, through the use of a batch loader, directly from an E-Notebook experiment. Registration Cloud’s row-level security offers an additional level of data security in addition to customizable user roles.
