ZONTAL Space – Data-centric Architecture

Dennis Della Corte Use Cases

Our customers frequently suffer from an application-centric infrastructure, where data is locked-down into siloes and data integration and reuse is limited by incompatible or missing interfaces. One approach to address these issues is to build even bigger applications that provide more functionality and therefore reduce the need for integration. While this is convenient at the […]

ZONTAL Space – System Replacement / Decommissioning / Harmonization

Dennis Della Corte Use Cases

Many of our customers have legacy systems in their infrastructure that need to be decommissioned and replaced, such as ELN, LIMS, DMS, CDS, SDMS or other data management applications. While high maintenance costs for infrastructure, application management, and licenses coupled with poor user experience and limited data access exert pressure on the management, some concerns […]

HOW CUSTOMERS USE

ONE PLATFORM

Execute cross-functional organizational responsibilities by using a set of integrated and standardized software services that are shared across the enterprise.

Functional needs of individual business units are met by implementing platform-enabled applications.

DATA DISCOVERY AND REUSE

Enhance search capabilities relevant to any global enterprise data application and ensure that non-scientific and scientific data is highly discoverable and enabled for reuse. Finding and extracting layers of standardized metadata during the ingestion process can save an enterprise time and money.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Manage data integrity and access controls across the enterprise. As more data is derived from more sources, centralized data lifecycle management helps companies to both strengthen supervision and enable innovation to take place.

ENTERPRISE PLATFORM

Information Lifecycle Management Build Trust to Maximize Data Reuse

Data ownership secures data value over time
Data governance manages documentation standards, ensures interoperability and simplifies collaboration
Data quality management maximizes data value and compliance
Data provenance builds trust and encourages reuse
Configurable workflows allow implementing business specific requirements
Automated retention schedules minimize efforts of archive management

Data Integrity, Quality and Provenance

Assessing data for its trustworthiness becomes important in data reuse with the growth in data creation because of the lack of standards for ensuring data quality and potential harm from using poor-quality data.
