Dr Paul Denny-Gouldson, Product Manager at IDBS, will also present a session on ‘Data Management as the Foundation of ELNs as a Knowledge Base’.
Dr Vanderlaan’s case study will highlight the pilot implementation of an ELN solution, covering the IT roadmap for a completely electronic records environment, organizational change management, the best strategy and planning for ELN selection and implementation, and key lessons learned. Dr Denny-Gouldson’s session will demonstrate how the right data management technology can support cross-study, cross-project, and cross-domain search and reporting. Examples of workflows gathered from across the industry will be presented including the ‘One Click IND’ and ‘Automated Compound Progression’ and how these require both data management and data federation to be successful.
