Accelrys Advances Powerful Decision Support Software

October 1st, 2010

Accelrys, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACCL), the leading scientific informatics software and services company, today announced the release of version 3.3 of the Isentris® data access, analysis, and decision support system (previously Symyx Isentris). Isentris 3.3 drives faster, better informed scientific decisions by enabling scientists to display, manipulate, and compare spectral, chromatographic, and XY graphical data.

With R&D organizations looking for ways to reduce cost by consolidating software applications where possible, adding these new capabilities to Isentris enables customers to circumvent costs of maintaining additional third-party software and also reduces on-going maintenance commitments and training costs.

In addition, scientists can now explore commercial and in-house information along with key chemical sourcing and reaction planning information made available via DiscoveryGate Web Service — all without leaving the Isentris environment.

The Isentris system, and its precursor ISIS system, became part of the Accelrys portfolio of scientific informatics software as a result of the July 2010 merger of Accelrys and Symyx Technologies, Inc.

“Accelrys has made considerable progress in transitioning its ISIS customers,” said Dr. Trevor Heritage, executive vice president, software products, Accelrys. “The new visualization and information access capabilities in Isentris 3.3 are further inducements for ISIS customers to make the switch, and this trend will persist as Accelrys continues to invest heavily in industry-leading decision support software. The company’s planned integration of Pipeline Pilot property calculators, data analytics, and dashboards into Isentris will provide groundbreaking new opportunities for customers engaged in visualizing, exploring, and reporting research results.”

The Isentris 3.3 release with improved visualization and information access is a significant milestone advancing cross-experiment data retrieval, analysis, and reporting in today’s integrated electronic laboratory environment. The Isentris system drives faster, better informed decisions in scientific experimentation — enabling scientists to explore, compare, and report on scientific information captured in the Accelrys Lab Execution and Analysis (LEA) software suite, in electronic lab notebooks, in laboratory information management systems (LIMS), and in other in-house and online information management systems.
