"The
key challenge was marrying the replacement of the
paper laboratory notebook and the needs of the
research scientists with the management teams need
to manage cost, schedule, risk and capacity. We
really weren't expecting one solution to provide
all of this."

"The system is a highly
effective means for authenticating the protocols
used and the results obtained from our laboratory
experiments. In fact, there are some significant
advantages to using eNovator over using a
paper-based lab notebook. For example, eNovator
uses a digital notarization system in conjunction
with electronic witnessing of the notebooks. A
paper lab book is not routinely notarized, and
often the signature of the primary researcher is
not accompanied by a witness' signature. Using
such electronic systems, I believe we can make a
very strong case that eNovator lab documents are
authentic and have not been altered in any
way."
