| Chemistry intensive organizations need to search, source and manage thousands of reagents, building-blocks and advanced intermediates. Increasingly, they must do this while minimizing IT infrastructure, avoiding disparate applications, rigid solutions and expensive licensing. We will describe Kelaroo's experience with systems addressing these operational and business needs. This presentation will address the integration of workflows involving chemistry, purchasing, stockroom and EH&S departments. Enabling capabilities include simultaneous searching of in-house reagents and commercial catalogs; acquiring reagents from both inventory and vendors efficiently and economically; managing chemical inventory effectively (including receiving, dispensing, tracking, reconciling and EH&S reporting); and enforcing business policies to save companies substantial time and money. The presentation will also discuss technical and business trends that are reshaping the Research Informatics landscape. This represents a paradigm shift towards integrating best-of-breed applications that are plug-and-play, web-based, full-featured, highly configurable and available as internal systems or hosted as a pay-as-you-go service.
