The Problem: Handle more projects in less time

Research and Development groups are under increasing pressure to perform more work with fewer resources. For researchers, this means doing more projects with smaller groups and smaller budgets. Automation and improved instrumentation make it possible to run more experiments, but the result is more data that must be analyzed and managed. Research managers now have to ensure that data from both inside and outside the organization can be handled efficiently to deliver more with less.

The Solution: Rubicon

Rubicon was designed for scientists to be a real time repository (rather than a lab archive system or LIMS) that returns the control of laboratory data to the scientist. By providing a secure, flexible and easy-to-use solution, Rubicon allows scientists to work efficiently without the loss of information inherent to enterprise content management systems.

Data management is part of your workflow and contributes to the speed and efficiency of your work. By allowing scientists to create descriptors of the experiment and translating vendor proprietary data formats into open formats, scientists now have an easy and efficient way to find, access and share data retained within the repository.

With Rubicon, collaborating with other scientists is seamless - it simply equates to providing them access to the repository - and easy by using project specific terminology (descriptors) to quickly find and retrieve results.
