A Strategy for Chemicals and Materials Innovation

The whitepaper outlines a strategic approach to digitalizing R&D in the chemicals and materials industry, emphasizing that successful projects require long-term business transformation focus, adaptability to diverse research workflows, clear data management strategies, and simplified IT infrastructure to accelerate innovation and enhance productivity while avoiding common implementation pitfalls.

R&D Digitalization with Data Intelligence in Mind – A Strategy for Chemicals & Materials Innovation

Digitalization of materials innovation in the chemicals industry has the potential to accelerate innovation and increase productivity, but digitalization projects can be challenging to execute and often fail to gain end-user adoption. This whitepaper summarizes experiences in successful digitalization projects and how to avoid common pitfalls. Beyond the fact that these projects must be viewed as long-term business transformation efforts, rather than short-term IT deployments, any R&D digitalization project must meet the following key requirements in order to be successful:

  • Adaptability to implement a highly diverse set of research workflows
  • A clear strategy on how to capture, share, and leverage highly valuable research data
  • An approach to R&D IT infrastructure that reduces complexity
