Results • Complete enterprise Chemical Registry System • Centralized Oracle Database to store all compound information Completed • ETC registry number system for all compounds (The ETC number) Completed • Ability to add newly synthesized compounds to the database Completed • New compound QC: Duplicates, Similarity matches, Chemical properties Completed • Review and Approval workflow for new compounds Completed • Bulk / Library upload request and approval mechanism Completed • eLN link for synthesis protocols, project information Completed • Substructure, Superstructure, Similarity Searches Completed • Chemical property / Metadata Searches Completed • Marvin View / Sketch Integration Completed • Chemical Calculator Integration Completed • User / Group Management PUBLIC
Results • Designed / Developed / Tested / Deployed to Production in 1.5 Months with 1.5 FTE !! PUBLIC
Thoughts so far • Really well thought out / efficient core functionality • Cartridge allows access to majority of functionality • Simple to integrate with .net • Rapidly deployable • Jchem Manager application a bit clunky • .net documentation / examples a bit lacking • License files for calculators a bit problematic • Knowledgeable / Responsive Support (Thanks) PUBLIC
Next • Looking forward to creating v2.0 (Sometime Q4 this year) • Migrate to version 5.0 • Improved UI • Improved integration model (Services) PUBLIC
