"Companies that rely on science to innovate continue to struggle
with quickly and cost-effectively transforming good ideas into
successful products," said Accelrys president and chief executive
officer Max Carnecchia. "The unified
approach to product development and process execution offered by
the Accelrys Process Management and Compliance Suite provides a
transformative path forward for organizations demanding new ways to
accelerate innovation and retain competitive advantages."
The Accelrys Process Management and Compliance Suite directly
integrates with systems critical to development and manufacturing
processes such as laboratory information management systems (LIMS),
enterprise resource planning (ERP), product lifecycle management
(PLM) and manufacturing execution systems (MES). The ability to
leverage existing applications and infrastructure, combined with
the features of the Accelrys Process Management and Compliance
Suite, offers organizations for the first time a single, unified
source for harmonizing critical-path data and meeting the
"right-first-time" needs of downstream manufacturing. The insights
gained from the suite enhance reporting, decision making, knowledge
management and operational excellence from lab to
commercialization.
The Accelrys Process Management and Compliance Suite is the
result of Accelrys' 2012 acquisition of VelQuest Corporation with
its industry-leading paperless lab execution and data capture
technology. The integrated suite comprises:
- Accelrys Enterprise Platform
- Accelrys Lab Execution System
- Accelrys Electronic Lab Notebook (formerly Symyx Notebook by
Accelrys)
- Accelrys Electronic Batch Records
"For too long lab-to-market value chain processes have been
managed by an outmoded combination of disconnected point solutions,
paper notebooks and home-grown tools, creating a productivity gap
that has slowed innovation," said Ken
Rapp, managing director of Accelrys' analytical,
development, quality and manufacturing solutions. "The Accelrys
Process Management and Compliance Suite changes that paradigm. By
combining the capabilities of an electronic lab notebook, lab
execution system and an enterprise scientific informatics platform,
Accelrys brings a holistic approach to solving common and costly
operational challenges ranging from production quality issues and
regulatory violations to shrinking margins."
Integration of the Accelrys Process Management and Compliance
Suite with the Accelrys Enterprise Platform enables lifecycle
aggregation, analytics and comprehensive reporting across the
continuum from discovery to manufacturing, supporting Six Sigma and
Quality by Design (QbD) programs and International Conference on
Harmonization (ICH) initiatives in pharmacovigilance and risk
management.
The Accelrys Process Management and Compliance Suite supports
scientists working in early and mid-stage analytical, formulation
and process/bioprocess development all the way through to
stability, material and release testing during late-stage quality
control and commercial production. By ensuring seamless technology
transfer at the crucial research, development, pilot and
manufacturing handoffs, the suite enables the rapid and accurate
transfer of methods, recipes and procedures captured during early
development into automated execution. As a result, customers have
reported that they are experiencing up to 25 percent productivity
improvement while cutting cycle times in half and reducing
compliance risks.
