Amphora Research Systems

Scalability, collaboration, security, IP protection

Larger organizations need an ELN solution which can scale to hundreds or perhaps thousands of scientists across different sites. As well as improving individual and group productivity, the organization will need scientists in diverse disciplines to work effectively together and build on the synergies within the organization. Patent issues are a significant concern, as is the ability to restrict certain material to qualified individuals (e.g by project, division, or in the case of export control, nationality).

Amphora's Solution

Amphora is probably the leading vendor of ELN solutions for large diverse organizations. Our solutions are structured to allow for low-risk and low-cost deployment in the most complex of situations, yet can scale to thousands of users in multiple countries.

Any large ELN system is a serious undertaking and the specific solution will be determined by the particular needs of each customer, making generalizations difficult. However, we do have some general information on our approach to such systems, the challenges we believe are involved, etc.
