Case Study: Lonza achieves faster, higher-quality bioprocess reporting with IDBS E-WorkBook Suite

Lonza reduces report turnaround from weeks to days with IDBS

Lonza Biologics, a contract biologics development organization, needed to move away from paper-based processes to increase quality, efficiency, and collaboration while reducing overheads. To maintain its competitive edge and meet customer demands, it sought an electronic system to provide real-time process insight and a foundation for knowledge management. The company selected IDBS and its Bioprocess Execution System based on the E-WorkBook Suite for its flexibility and suitability to the biologics development environment.

IDBS implemented a portfolio of electronic workflows that replicated Lonza's internal processes, offering scientists flexibility without compromising control. The solution integrated and optimized bioprocess activities, managing the complete lifecycle from laboratory to report. This deployment for 300 users across four global sites resulted in significantly easier data capture and manipulation. Most impactfully, IDBS's system drastically reduced reporting times from weeks or months down to days by automatically aggregating and formatting results, providing a key differentiator over basic electronic lab notebooks.
