Experimenting and launching

Users in this stage store data in digital silos and are applying multiple digital tools to existing data

If you are using an electronic notebook (ELN), historian and/or a LIMS today, your data is likely siloed and located on premise rather than the cloud. Your data is probably not structured or put into any context for analysis. Understanding how to move to the operational stage is key to moving forward in your digital journey.

Here you will learn about:

  • Data foundations
  • Developing a data flow process map
  • Structured versus unstructured data and formats
  • Compliance standards including 21 CFR Pt 11

Featured webinar

Useful resources available:

Operational

Users in this stage are off paper and leveraging digital systems in day-to-day workflows

If you are starting to use digital solutions on new data, the data is potentially structured at the time of capture. You are using the cloud for bi-directional push and pull of data. Digital solutions are applied primarily to new data.

Here you will learn about:

  • Data integrity
  • The meaning of contextualized data
  • The meaning of FAIR data
  • The components of a good AI strategy

Featured webinar

Useful resources available:

Innovative

Users in this stage use AI, LLM, statistical and mechanistic models for predictive capabilities and actionable insights

You have a digital ecosystem established for your organization in the cloud. Your data is structured with context, and ready for advanced analysis. You have ALCOA++ and FAIR compliance standards embedded in digital tools. You are able to share data with collaborators and gain value from your digital solutions.

Here you will learn about:

  • Data security
  • Differences between on Premise and the Cloud
  • Data analysis and reporting
  • How to use data insights tools
