This type of customer is particularly attractive because the process followed by R&D is as important as the information they create, and capturing both together in context is critical. However, effectively capturing both information and process together is expensive, time-consuming, and error-prone for a single team let alone an entire organization. As a result, information and process are not captured, become separated, get lost, or are virtually unrecoverable. The financial impact is substantial.

Traditionally, R&D groups have been forced to create their own in-house solutions from a patchwork of technologies and applications. However, these solutions are seldom effective, because developing the underlying collaboration technologies required to solve this difficult problem is beyond the budget and expertise of most organizations.

• Academic Research
• Government, Military, and Intelligence R&D
• Corporate Applied R&D
• Commercial Product Development

The ability of these organizations to timely capture results, protect intellectual property, and demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements has a major impact on their time-to-market and competitive advantage.

To be successful, these industries must deliver reproducible results that can be quickly developed, transferred and put into production. The ability to timely capture results, protect intellectual property, and demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements has a major impact on time-to-market and competitive advantage.
