Tripos®, a leading provider of drug discovery informatics
products and services, today announced that Pfizer has become the latest
customer of Benchware® Discovery 360 (D360). The novel
license agreement allows Pfizer to deploy the capabilities of D360 to
all scientists within its worldwide research sites.
“Tripos is thrilled that Pfizer has selected D360 as the tool of choice
for its worldwide discovery organization”
As a part of the agreement, Pfizer will license to Tripos certain rights
to its internally-developed discovery informatics system, RGate, and
Tripos will extend capabilities within D360 to accommodate Pfizer’s
unique requirements. D360 will provide a leading technology to Pfizer
scientists, while leveraging investment in their legacy system to reduce
cost and create a modern, best-of-breed platform for drug discovery and
development.
D360 is used by discovery scientists in major pharmaceutical
organizations to provide robust data access and analysis capabilities
including full-featured, forms-based queries and browsing, a data access
dashboard for fast, simple access to data searches, and a wide range of
user-requested data analysis functionality.
“Tripos is thrilled that Pfizer has selected D360 as the tool of choice
for its worldwide discovery organization,” said Patrick Flanagan,
Tripos’ Chief Operating Officer. “D360 accelerates drug discovery and
development projects by increasing the ability to access, analyze, and
share knowledge throughout worldwide discovery teams. Additionally, this
agreement incorporates and extends the best of Pfizer’s existing RGate
technology.”
