The flexible underpinning of E-WorkBook allows all drug discovery scientists – including chemists, biologists and pharmacologists - to record, share and report all relevant experimental information electronically in a practical, secure and compliant way.

Drawing on unrivalled ‘real world’ experience of both R&D science and discovery data management, E-WorkBook captures corporate knowledge in a searchable, traceable electronic repository that is fully compliant with 21 CFR part 11. The ability to search and query experimental data in real time, control access and issue task requests to other team members, all allow E-WorkBook to offer an organization the opportunity to drive the research process with improved efficiency and enhanced security.
