11.45 How ELNs Can Provide The Foundations To Leverage Corporate Knowledge
Data is the new “old corporate asset” and we are seeing more and more focus placed on its usage and therefore its management. It is no longer good enough for ELNs to capture IP in a flat, static form to satisfy legal patent requirements – organisations are requiring a lot more from their ELNs in terms of data centric corporate knowledge and are looking to leverage data in more creative ways. We will be providing insights into this and provide example use cases from areas such as:
- BioPharma
- Biomarker Discovery
- BioAnalysis
- Pre-Clinical Formulations
The used cases will highlight which elements of good data management,
decision capture and analytics have had significant positive impacts on how
organisations work, leverage and report their “Corporate Knowledge” in
different areas.
