ACD/Labs Software Provides Enterprise-Wide Analytical Data Management for Boehringer Ingelheim
Boehringer Ingelheim
has chosen Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) to provide them
with an integrated analytical data management system for their enterprise. ACD/Labs'
global spectroscopic processing and data management software, ACD/SpecManager
SQL, will be implemented at Boehringer Ingelheim's research and development
facilities in Vienna, Ingelheim, and Biberach, providing each location with
the tools necessary to access, process, organize, and manage various types of
experimental data through a single interface.
ACD/SpecManager
is a powerful yet simple-to-use tool for storing and managing various types
of experimental spectra and chromatograms, as well as any related information.
Its central database module, ACD/SpecDB, is paired with processing modules for
various analytical techniques, including the NMR, MS, UV-IR, and chromatography
modules chosen by Boehringer Ingelheim. Together, the ACD/SpecManager suite
of products will work seamlessly as one comprehensive module, providing more
information and greater capabilities then would be provided by the simple sum
of its parts.
ACD/SpecManager SQL will add Oracle-based client-server architecture to Boehringer
Ingelheim's SpecManager modules, enabling several users to work with the same
database simultaneously, and ensuring the seamless integration of analytical
data and results from Boehringer Ingelheim's various research and development
facilities. One of the major factors in Boehringer Ingelheim's decision to implement
ACD/SpecManager SQL was this ability to share data across different sites in
a consistent file format.
Boehringer Ingelheim
will also benefit from the ability to use previously purchased ACD/Labs software
for systematic naming and physicochemical property prediction from within the
SpecManager interface, enabling users to generate names and calculate physicochemical
properties for the structures attached to each database record.
Dr. Andreas Ding,
Department of Analytics at BI's Biberach, Germany facility, states, "The
integration of the ACD/Labs software into our workflow has given us the functionality
of a modern enter-prise wide Analytical Data Management System. This allows
us to handle various analytical data and results in an efficient way, and grants
us the ability to instantly share this know-ledge enterprise-wide. In the field
of spectral verification and structure elucidation, we have taken the first
step into automated spectra verification and computer assistant structure elucidation
(CASE).
"Enterprise-Wide management of legacy analytical data and associated chemical
structures offers the opportunity to dramatically impact the quality and pace
of structural identification at Boehringer Ingelheim," comments Antony
Williams, VP of Scientific Development and Marketing for ACD/Labs. "We
are confident that the solution we have delivered will offer significant return
on investment in a short period of time and will positively impact the processes
BI scientists adopt for identifying chemical structures."
