Abstract

The success of the Kalypsys® Analytical Chemistry Department’s technological developments will be largely based on its ability to efficiently process and distribute the data the advancements yield. Presentation of the data in a manner that effectively communicates the findings and facilitates lead optimization is crucial. Managing the information becomes burdensome if measures are not taken to employ appropriate data and document solutions. Properly assessing the workflow and producing specifications for desired solutions is critical. One of the key points in the successful collaboration of Analytical Chemistry and Informatics at Kalypsys was the positive open communication that existed between the departments. Written specifications and SOP documents were effective pieces of information used by Informatics to help achieve the design desired by Analytical. Access by Analytical to the development servers to actively test the products in their design state, and producing testing reports, allowed Informatics to build the products more efficiently. Coupled with weekly meetings, these communication strategies produced the success seen in the deliverables. Acknowledgements
