Atrium Research Announces the Second Edition of Landmark Report on Electronic Laboratory Notebooks
Atrium Research, the only market research organization dedicated to scientific informatics, announced today the release of Edition II of company’s ground-breaking study, Electronic Laboratory Notebooks: A Foundation for Scientific Knowledge Management. Over eighteen months in the making, this comprehensive look at ELN examines the market, customer requirements, legal issues, benefits, industry trends, and best practices for vendor selection and implementation. Called the “definitive document on ELN” by Indiana University’s School of Informatics, the 470 page report includes over 180 pages dedicated to reviewing the latest ELN software from key suppliers. Over 160 charts, tables and figures illustrate key points.
Paper laboratory notebooks have been used for hundreds of years. Despite billions of dollars of investment in computer technology and automated instrumentation, the paper notebook has remained as a final repository of experimental data and results. Poised for explosive market growth, ELNs considerably improve laboratory efficiency and enable a collaborative and electronic R&D environment. The potential market for ELN technology is large – over $1.5 billion – but only 12% of the market is fully penetrated at this time. Sales of vendor solutions are growing almost 30% per year.
With over 25 ELN suppliers offering a variety of capabilities and features, prospective users can gain the knowledge and insight they need to make an informed vendor selection.
