Joining Forces with Insightful Science
Dotmatics and Insightful Science have merged to form the world’s largest cloud-based scientific research R&D platform, combining their software solutions to accelerate innovation, enhance data-driven research workflows, and drive the digital transformation of scientific labs into the Lab of the Future.
Joining Forces with Insightful Science
With the formal transaction completed, Dotmatics and Insightful Science are now one team. The combined company is now the world’s largest cloud-based scientific research R&D platform.
Significance of the Merger
Scientific research is undergoing a pivotal digital transformation. Knowledge, innovation, and drug discovery are increasing at a faster pace than ever, transforming the research process from transactional and process-driven to data-driven. The primary challenge today is managing the enormous volume and promise of data generated in labs.
Insightful Science’s software applications have become core to millions of scientists’ daily workflows. Their integration into Dotmatics’ cloud-first enterprise data management solution marks a significant transformation in the future of software and data management in research labs. The combined companies have the scale and vision to unlock significant value for customers and provide a competitive advantage as they transition to the Lab of the Future. This merger aims to accelerate innovation and advance human knowledge.
A shared customer-centric vision and like-minded company cultures are essential for success. Thomas Swalla, CEO of Insightful Science, stated:
“We’re now at the starting line of the next journey that will be filled with opportunities to continue to have a meaningful impact on Science at an even broader scale. The combined team has the opportunity to build a decade defining software company that empowers our customers to be the real ‘change agents’ in the world. I’m very confident that given the talented team members and best-in-breed technology of our unified company, we’ll continue to innovate but at a pace to have maximum impact over the long term.”
The integration process begins now. While supporting customers with their current workflows, updates on new integrations for every R&D workflow will be shared. On Day 1, the integrated Antibody Discovery Solution was expanded to include the design capabilities of Geneious Biologics. The integration of SnapGene with Dotmatics’ ELN solution is also forthcoming.
