CAMBRIDGE, UK--Synomics has launched Alliance, a software integration architecture system that the company said is designed to allow the life sciences industry to implement a "sustainable" integration strategy and deliver integrated R&D applications to the desktop. The products' integration capabilities can combine existing resources and proprietary knowledge and enable scientists and technical staff to collaborate more effectively, building upon past investments in systems and data. Alliance also allows databases and analysis tools to be linked, enabling the integration of desktop applications. The scope and functions of the user interfaces can be extended as required to meet scientists' changing research needs, the company said.
