The document discusses transforming R&D through linking data, people, and collaborations. It identifies key business drivers like accelerated innovation and improved margins. Effective solutions link data to data, people, and collaborations through searchable knowledge bases, security, and reporting platforms. Case studies show implementing flexible solutions in stages from basic modeling to full process integration and alignment across organizations.
This is a great slide from Nestle showing their goals and objectives based on product attrition
It shows that there is benefits to be had all across the R&D cycle, and better use of data, leveraging knowledge will help the atrition rates as you move from R to D and then once in D it is about being efficient
Not here to talk about IDBS in the regular way – size, locations etc. This presentation is all about discussing what are your core drivers and where you want your R&D to go and how you are thinking to get there.
Have to explain the maturity model and how businesses get benefits from our software in different ways. Can use the extended deck here to walk through the slides – you must introduce it though as it helps build the value of what we have for the future.
Always remember that you have options. It isn’t always a simple race to the top. Choose the journey that best suits your individual circumstances, business drivers and need for ROI. Maybe you don’t have a grand vision but you can see a vision of a paperless laboratory – our experience says that you will achieve that and then want to do more as you learn, and your business adapts, to the change. This is where we are unique – we will not take you down a cul-de-sac or dead-end technology – it will adapt to meet your changing requirements

Use case 2 – Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology
Vision – evolved over time
Type 1, 2 & 3 Project: Initially to reduce data collation time, then to increase data quality and streamline reporting.
Some reports took 4-6 weeks to complete after the lab work had finished. Analysis showed process improvements and structured data capture could reduce this to 1 day. This moved deployment to Type 3.
The customer (Abbott) started the project in a small group but it quickly gained traction with other groups. Project completed over various phases over the past 6 years starting with limited roll out to less than 250 Type 1 and 2 users.
Hard benefits:
The success of this project attracted other groups, which shifted the focus to cross-domain daisy chaining.
A costly, protracted pilot was avoided. Focused week-long workshops drove the choice of the system and eliminated unnecessary questions such as ‘Can I use it?’ and ‘What’s the value?’
The soft benefits:
Process harmonization across different geographies
The system was rapidly adopted and used to drive Type 3 and 4 user adoption. Now have 2,000+ users across multiple business groups and domains, ranging from pharmacology, DMPK, bioanalysis, formulations, analytical and QC labs.
Use case 4 – Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology
Vision – full process integration and alignment
Type 3 & 4 Project: Move to structured data and processes before entering a new age of cross-domain data collaboration.
This biologics development customer (Novartis) defined the project as Type 3 moving to Type 4 in a short timeframe.
Hard benefits:
Rolling out the new systems had cumulative benefits across the organization:
Process harmonization
Reduction of errors and time spent looking for errors
Real time process reporting
These were all used to define the business benefits of the project. Removal of paper and IP capture were also included.
Soft benefits:
Lonza’s investment in process and informatics enables them to differentiate themselves against their competitors
Daisy chaining groups enabled downstream groups could see previous projects and make better decisions
Time and money no longer wasted on repeating prior work due to lack of accessible information
New system to track everything, make it reportable and give a holistic view of the entire development process - the foundation for Quality By Design
Lonza need to understand variables with complex relationships with each other and how they affect key properties of what they are making. This will allow them to understand their processes and predict likely outcomes. This is still in its infancy, but the key for any simulation and prediction is good input data and process harmonisation, which is what the system now offers.
The project was completed in 1 year and is now employed by 400 users. This shows that you can drive a business value case even when starting further up the project types.
Use case – Danone
Vision – Lab IP capture and protection then workflow automation as experience grows
Type 1 Project
Hard benefits
Paper removal (no more cutting out, sticky tape and printing) saved between 2 and 4 hours per week per scientist.
Soft benefits
Better IP security and access for legal teams to proactively patent – first to file changes.
IP capture at source and centralization protects investment and makes knowledge easily accessible
Avoided a protracted pilot through a short Phase 0 implementation, which validated expected time-savings
Potential to reduce repeated experiments to save further time and money
Project completed in a very short timescale. Rolled out to 200+ users within 6 months.
