In The Boardroom
In the boardroom, CERF enhances the ability of R&D organizations to capitalize on their knowledge assets. A consolidated knowledge platform improves decision-making and management of research programs. Efficiencies in capturing, searching and sharing knowledge reduce duplicated work and enhance the productivity of scientists. And CERF simplifies the transition from paper with rich functionality that supports the diversity of scientists’ workflows, data, and work habits.
CERF’s unified, 21 CFR Part 11 compliant platform protects your R&D investment. With direct access to scientific data, management can identify IP and business opportunities faster. With CERF, your IP is always at your fingertips on the platform just as effective for organizing your legal arguments as your scientific ones.
-
Capture and protect your intellectual capital – actively and in compliance with 21 CFR 11, USPTO, GLP, etc.
-
Reduce time spent managing information, recording research, and searching for things – as much as 35% - 60% of a scientist’s time
-
Accelerate discovery by mining existing knowledge and expertise
-
Ensure research continuity by preserving your intellectual property in the event of employee turnover
-
Identify IP and business opportunities faster Improve portfolio and project management with better tracking and oversight of research
-
Accelerate patent defense by eliminating truckloads of paper notebooks and the man-years required to search through them
-
Leverage our powerful semantic-web search to find and organize all of your evidence to make your patent-defense case as strong as possible
-
Collaborate on your legal defense as easily as your scientific research

"We’ve had great success in using CERF to manage our grant applications to ensure that only one person is editing the proper version of each document. Once the documents were completed, my administrative assistant could directly pull the complete documents from CERF for uploading to NIH."

CERF 21 CFR Part 11 |
| Efficiency |
|
CERF helps you improve the ROI of R&D™ by eliminating the hassles of paper notebooks: cutting, pasting, signing, searching. Studies have found that researchers spend up to 30% of their time today just looking for information. CERF replaces paper lab notebooks, scratch pads, and scattered files and data with an integrated solution that consolidates all of a scientist’s documents and data in a single centralized system. Reducing the time spent in the lab creates more time for interpretation, analysis, and innovation. Improved knowledge transfer, templates, and structured data entry also decrease training time for new personnel.
By centralizing research information in a readily accessible environment, CERF gives managers increased visibility into their research pipeline. Progress on research initiatives can be monitored without interrupting scientists or digging through notebooks. Identifying business and IP opportunities earlier can improve resource allocation among projects in your portfolio.
