COMPANY
Who We Are
Blue Reference provides information solutions that help companies optimize their business performance by providing unified access to information, workflow, science objects and people operating in research and development networks. Our software applications give users a single access point to disparate and heterogeneous data sources in an easy-to-use and real-time manner. Using our software platform, science-oriented organizations can assemble and configure task-specific search-based applications at a lower cost, in less time, and with minimal change management compared to conventional integration strategies. Deployment of our search-based applications has provided research-based Fortune 100 companies a competitive advantage in product development innovation, regulatory compliance, and time-and-cost to market.
Our Differentiating Factors
Other software companies provide search capabilities and make claims similar to the ones above. However, our differentiation rests on the following:
- We have a long history serving scientific R&D. We were the founders of IntelliChem, a leading supplier of Electronic Lab Notebooks to the Top-20 pharmaceutical companies, which was subsequently acquired by Accelrys.
- We avoid proprietary "vendor lock-in" by using only documented and open data standards, formats and services.
- We direct our products at the needs of scientists and engineers. Our products speak the language of science by employing science objects as core elements.
- We address delivery of actionable information that requires unification ("fusion") of information types (structured/unstructured; homogeneous/heterogeneous; business/scientific) and of people's workflows and activities (location/function; internal/external).
- We use content analytics to analyze unstructured information to extract metadata, concepts, relationships and scientific objects hidden within and enable content understanding, which raises the value of an organization's information.
- We provide a software platform that enables users to easily assemble, configure and reuse search-based applications for task-specific visualizations, functions and workflows that drive actions.
- We provide "out-of-the-box" connectors that enable users to seamlessly connect search-based applications to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software like Microsoft SharePoint and Office, EMC Documentum, Waters NuGenesis and Symyx Electronic Lab Notebooks.
Our Value Proposition
Blue Reference enables organizations to deploy task-specific search-based applications that help scientists and engineers optimize their business performance and improve decision making by delivering high value information solutions to their R&D networks at lower upfront costs, in shorter timeframes and at lower technical, regulatory and implementation risk than competing approaches.
