Manchester, UK - (4 Septemer 2007) Ardenno Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of Collaborative Knowledge Management software solutions, today announced that the Department of Clinical Pharmacology in the Medical Sciences Division at the University of Oxford has successfully implemented Ardenno Collaboration Center. Ardenno is being used to help support the department’s many active research groups which are focused on gene therapy, pharmacogenomics, population genetics and the study of adverse drug reactions. Ardenno provides the Department of Clinical Pharmacology at the University of Oxford with a solution that can supply a singular enterprise search interface for all their types of data, including image and instrument files. The Ardenno product also provides a multi-dimensional way to present data relevancy and relationships with automated customer specific layered metadata of their unstructured and structured data files, to enable them to improve information sharing.
According to leading industry firms, the collaboration market is set to reach a value of over $1 billion USD by 2008. As project teams increasingly work together using productivity and collaboration tools, often the valuable intellectual property - people, knowledge and conversations - associated with these project team efforts are lost. Without access to organizational best practices and knowledge, team members are left working without the benefit of this information, which impacts overall organizational productivity and efficiency.
“Improving our knowledge management capabilities is paramount to ensure that research which is being carried out within the department is productive and unified” said Dr. Simon Briggs, Gene Therapy Group, Clinical Pharmacology, University of Oxford. “Ardenno helps foster research collaborations by being able to include any type of unstructured data such as image files, in a secure enterprise search. Additionally, data can be automatically reorganized into a single, structured file system which provides a secure log of all instrument data, parameters and information which is generated within the Department.”
