Application Development

When considering technologies that will enable the integration and deployment of in-house, commercial, and academically developed software, corporate and research IT professionals must consider total coast of ownership (TCO). Key considerations include costs associated with implementation, deployment, training, documentation and maintenance. Accelrys' SciTegic platform technology enables IT professionals to integrate and deploy of a wide variety of mission-critical research applications in areas as diverse as chemistry, cheminformatics, bioinformatics, on-line content integration, image analysis, and high throughput screening. The platform provides IT tools and APIs that enable developers to rapidly integrate third-party applications, and make them available as a standard service (or component). These services can then be used when building workflows via the platform's graphical client, or they can be called from external clients, such as through web browsers, custom clients, or other workflow systems.
