Alkemists Pharmaceuticals Implements ISYS:desktop Search Solution to Enable Advanced Search and Retrieval Across Vast Research Repositories.

DENVER -- ISYS Search Software (www.isys-search.com), a global supplier of enterprise search solutions for business and government, today announced that natural product research consultants Alkemists Pharmaceuticals (www.alkemist.com) has selected ISYS:desktop to supply its specialists with advanced search and retrieval capabilities across its product testing and research document repositories.

With large internal data stores and a document repository with more than 6,000 reports, Alkemists Pharmaceuticals is an independent botanical testing lab specializing in plant-genus and species-identification of powdered or liquid material. It assists its customers by focusing on the systematic identification and evaluation of botanicals and their marker compounds for quality control.

Part of its challenge in this endeavor is extracting testing results and product code references from a high volume of archived reports. In addition to its speed, accuracy and advanced features, ISYS:desktop also provides Alkemists with the flexibility of custom-designed scripts, which are being used to automatically extract data from results sets and into a master report.

"Not only did we need to search across a large number of reports, but we also needed to pull specific pieces of data from each result and dump it into a master report," said Harry Mullin, CFO/CIO, Alkemists Pharmaceuticals. "ISYS:desktop's flexible architecture and custom scripts made this happen automatically, which saved us an immeasurable amount of time and enabled us to provide our customers with even better service. With more than 6,000 reports and hundreds of samples processed each month, immediate access to accurate data is vital. ISYS is enabling us to mine that data repository and convert it accurately into our lab management database."

"ISYS:desktop offers insanely fast searches with flexible retrieval that isn't possible with standard text searches," said Elan Sudberg, COO and lab manager, Alkemists Pharmaceuticals. "The ability to open retrieved documents directly in their native format helps tremendously in the preparation of reports. Plus, ISYS:desktop gives us the ability to track each of our sample references to its original source, which is key for regulatory and client review purposes."
