Leading Global Manufacturer of Highly Engineered Specialty Chemicals Implements Ardenno in Less Than 30 Days

Philadelphia, PA. USA and Manchester, UK - (19 March 2007) Ardenno Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of Collaborative Knowledge Management software solutions for research and development, today announced that a leading biopharmaceutical company in the areas of neurological and inflammatory diseases has successfully implemented Ardenno Collaboration Center. Ardenno automates the applying of customer specific layered metadata of their unstructured and structured data files, to enable them to improve information sharing with their collaborative research partner.

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.

“Ardenno excels at helping companies improve their collaboration and knowledge management capabilities by being able to automate the manual process of applying multi-layers of metadata to their unstructured data, said Joe Peden, President Ardenno Solutions. “The successful implementation of Ardenno in less than 30-days is a testament to the immediate value and reduced risk that Ardenno provides innovative companies”.

Ardenno Collaboration Center

Ardenno’s Collaboration Center solution addresses common weaknesses in a multitude of research laboratories --- around the globe. Research organizations have a common thread of pain and inefficiencies without regard for their research focus. Researchers today are generating an accelerating amount of unstructured data and are unable to maximize its value across their various research-dispersed teams. The inability to share knowledge and learn from other related or useful observations in a timely manner continues to waste expensive resources and time. Today’s automated hierarchical storage and compliance systems are actually making the “MyData” syndrome worse, not better. There is a better way to help make knowledge workers more knowledgeable, and leverage existing infrastructure investments. Ardenno’s Collaboration Center will help disparate research teams perform smarter, and to enable them to better leverage their complimentary knowledge community.

Ardenno Town Hall

Ardenno's Town Hall provides the ability to display file and content relationships in a multi-dimensional semantic search visual display. Town Hall uses purpose-built algorithms to logically structure and present content based on relevancy and fully leverages the Ardenno Relevancy Heat Indextm within Ardenno’s Collaboration Center product. Town Hall dynamically displays a file’s Relevancy Heat Index from advanced algorithms with a quantitative ranking and displays a specific Heat Index color scheme to denote its quintile ranking. The creation of an Ardenno “knowledge community” in Town Hall provides increased content relevancy and a linkage between the available information and individuals across disparate research organizational silos.
