Challenges;
Proactively affectsystem interaction and prepare organisation for systemchanges.
Solve information handling problems within existingbudget.
Capture needs and develop new ways to collate,visualiseand analyseinformation.
RSS feeds with combined project information from multiplesources gave the scientist
a better instantview of data. The threshold to get to data was lowered.
An open web-interface to the chemist’s lab-journal simplified sharingof information.
A monitoringsystem for QC runs of analytical systems enabled overview of issues in
seconds and the pre-emptive support was improved.
Placingmonthly reports from drug projects in a databasesystem enabled
presentation and analysisof information in new ways. Fastsignallingof events and
resultupwards in the organisation was presented.
A portal to scanned pages from legacy ELN systems was developed. The technology
was chosen to enable access withouttechnology updates the next 30-50 years.
