The Collaborative
Electronic Research Framework is
a unique solution designed to provide a unified electronic record-keeping
environment for the scientist and the organization.
CERF offers scientists an organized user-centric 'Labtop™' environment to do their daily work, which may include creating, viewing, analyzing, and annotating research records. It offers
records managers signed records in printable and human-readable, long-term
storage formats that capture the data and document the complete evidence trail.
CERF protects novel intellectual property (IP), is readily configured for
regulatory policies (such as 21 CFR Part 11), and can help managers identify IP
and business opportunities faster. CERF enables organizations to create and
follow secure business policies for sharing research information and reports,
whether external R&D collaborations or cross-department teamwork. The
system enables leverage of expertise and knowledge across the enterprise to
improve management of projects as well as R&D portfolios. CERF delivers
better tracking and oversight of research while improving team interactions and
communication.

- Increases valuation and enables better ROI in R&D
- Improves portfolio and project management and overall R&D performance
- Accelerates speed to market
|
Legal/Regulatory:
- Improves regulatory compliance (21 CFR 11)
- Promotes faster regulatory submissions
- Decreases risks
- Captures/protects Intellectual Property
|
IT Services/Informatics:
- Installs and updates from the web

What is CERF?
Rescentris’ Collaborative Electronic Research Framework™
(CERF) is a secure, 21 CFR Part 11-compliant enterprise scientific information
system designed specifically for managing and sharing information in life sciences
research organizations. CERF combines a full-featured electronic lab notebook
(ELN) with scientific content management, an extensible knowledge and data
integration framework, and a science-driven informatics platform. Its intuitive
cross-platform desktop interface allows scientists to organize and unify access
to personal and shared content (e.g., documents, spreadsheets, scientific data,
reports), applications, and databases. The CERF server provides central
management of data storage, system functions (i.e., security, business policies,
user and system administration, workflow), projects, organization of experiments,
content, annotations, and rich metadata. The Rescentris mission is to provide IT to improve the ROI of R&D™ with software that improves the
efficiency of the scientists, captures the research records, and future-proofs
your information assets.
CERF was designed to address key problems faced by life sciences organizations and improve R&D performance by:
 |
Improving productivity and communications in
your collaborative research projects |
|
Capturing and protecting your intellectual capital
– actively - and in compliance with 21 CFR 11, USPTO, GLP, etc.
|
|
Improving decision making and management of
research programs |
|
Collecting, sharing, and
searching your laboratory and informatics records in a real-time environment |
