ID Business Solutions (IDBS) is a worldwide provider of advanced software solutions for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, agrochemical and animal health industries.

IDBS’ ActivityBase—the biopharmaceutical industry standard data management application for drug discovery—uses OpenViz to help the biologist analyze and verify results calculated by ActivityBase.

OpenViz provides ActivityBase users with effortless validation of results through powerful three-dimensional data visualizations that enable rapid detection and rejection of data, and to identify trends in result values.

The ActivityBase Test Explorer allows scientists to make early, informed decisions by offering a series of OpenViz-based drill-down “scenes” that provide instant access to test data without needless repetitive user-defined queries to the database.

With one click, the Test Explorer and ActivityBase’s series of associated drill-down features track the test ancestry and results data of a compound or a compound collection. This permits scientists to quickly identify unfavorable results in, for example, another study area or to redirect investigations into an interesting results cluster.

Once a particular type of compound or an individual structure has been identified for further investigation, ActivityBase ProfileView further visualizes the data and any associated detailed information. OpenViz-based graphic results, in combination with tables and condition charts, allow further focus on crucial experimental data and the detection of erroneous result values

According to Neil Kipling, IDBS chairman and CEO, “Our partnership with AVS enables us to immediately provide our users with the sophisticated Quality Control capabilities they have been asking for, which will further streamline and simplify the decision-making workflow. New advanced visualization technologies enable aggregate views of biological and chemical data — a breakthrough for scientists working with extremely large data sets.”
