BIOVIA ScienceCloud

Today’s research networks are growing in both size and complexity, combining numerous partners with diverse project objectives. Externalized drug discovery introduces substantial data and project management challenges:

• How do you secure the IP of different parties and share project data in real time?
• How do you ensure that team members can only access what he/she is authorized to see?
• How do you quickly spin up and down dynamic collaborations?
• How do you keep team members informed of program progress?

BIOVIA ScienceCloud provides an integrated suite of project-centered applications which are available to all team members wherever they are, at any time. It helps to define roles to ensure clear lines of who owns what IP. ScienceCloud leverages social communication to connect teams empowering researchers to capture and search user and application feeds, post from both internal and external systems, and share and leverage crowd knowledge.

Ensuring effective collaboration across today’s distributed research networks means making sure scientists have access to the right data on demand. However, exclusively on-premise solutions require establishing complex IT solutions to allow internal scientists behind company firewalls when they are off site and external scientists to submit data when experiments conclude.

BIOVIA ScienceCloud supports flexible cloud and hybrid on-premises deployments to provide simplified, secure access to data on demand while leveraging your existing IT infrastructure. Scientists can access, search and share project data anywhere and anytime, view project status and communicate results, post and read project-related, receive Twitter-like updates and instant notifications of new information and engage with external partners using their phone.

The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of project data are paramount to the operation and success of collaboration on the cloud. The ScienceCloud Security Team is committed to applying all standard technologies, guidelines, and best practices that are widely used in the cloud industry. A testament to that commitment is that we consistently maintain ISO 27001 certification for ScienceCloud.

Implementing ScienceCloud requires a strategic approach to ensure smooth integration and effective adoption:

• Initial Assessment: Evaluate your processes and IT infrastructure to determine integration points for ScienceCloud.
• System Integration: Connect ScienceCloud with existing data systems and research tools to ensure seamless functionality across platforms.
• Pilot Testing: Conduct tests with select users to identify issues and refine system usability before full deployment.
• Full Deployment: Implement ScienceCloud across your organization, ensuring all data migrations and integrations are complete.
• Continuous Monitoring and Support: Provide ongoing support and training, and continuously monitor system performance.

Cloud-based platforms are reshaping drug discovery, promising significant advancements:

• Increased Collaboration and Efficiency: Enhance collaboration across boundaries, speeding up drug discovery.
• Integration of Advanced Technologies: AI and machine learning analyze data more efficiently, improving research outcomes.
• Personalized Medicine and Innovations: Cloud platforms support sophisticated data analysis, aiding the development of personalized medicine.
• Regulatory Compliance and Data Security: Ongoing enhancements in compliance and security features meet critical research needs.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced infrastructure needs and streamlined processes lower overall costs.
