Larger Installations

Larger organizations need an ELN solution which can scale to many hundreds or thousands of scientists on many 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. Our world-leading experience in deploying these systems has led to invitations to speak at all the major ELN conferences around the world, on a wide variety of topics.

Any large ELN system is a serious undertaking and the specific solution will be determined by the particular needs of each customer. As a result it is difficult to generalize on how Amphora might approach any individual circumstance. However, we do have some general information on our approach to such systems, the challenges we believe are involved, etc.
