IDBS E-WorkBook: powerful, flexible
30+ years of success
E-WorkBook has a long history of use in top pharma companies but also in many large companies in adjacent sectors.
E-WorkBook has been helping our customers become more efficient and effective since 2006. Take a look at some of the results our customers have gained:
From tactical efficiency to strategic impact: advancing to IDBS Polar
Polar, a significant evolution of E-WorkBook, was developed in recognition that our customers’ needs have grown over time. Polar has been designed to better support our customers’ digital transformation journeys, help them build their foundation for the application of AI/ML technologies and access, integrate and use their data more easily.
While retaining all the operational productivity benefits of E-WorkBook, Polar includes additional modules and a robust data modeling architecture for improved insight, scalability and innovation to help transform drug development processes.
Making the transition from
IDBS E-WorkBook to IDBS Polar
Existing customers of E-WorkBook can move to Polar and bring all workflows and data with them. There are options to retain existing E-WorkBook capabilities only or upgrade to the full capabilities of Polar. Our Global Professional Services team will help make this process as seamless as possible.
- Build on existing E-WorkBook architecture and bring your data with you
- Leverage IDBS expertise to build and manage new workflows while keeping your own
- Incorporate current integrations and introduce advanced features
- Data out the way you want it
- Analyze your data in or outside the platform
