Surety and Kinematik join forces to deliver Data Integrity services for lab notebooks
HERNDON, Virginia – Surety, LLC, a leading provider of data integrity services, and KineMatik, an Ireland-based provider of Collaborative eR&D software, announced today the integration of Surety’s data integrity service, AbsoluteProofSM , into KineMatik’s eNovator, a web-based, collaborative eR&D system. The combined solution will enable chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and electronics companies to achieve paperless knowledge capture and protect their intellectual property during the research and development (R&D) process.
eNovator enables greater efficiency of researchers and more effective management of R&D by integrating the strategic, operational, knowledge and data management processes of R&D. By integrating Surety’s technology into eNovator, KineMatik provides a seamless way for its customers to protect the integrity of their electronic records, by generating cryptographically verifiable evidence of exactly what electronic records were created and precisely when.
“Surety is a best-of-breed solution that provides our customers with an added layer of security to certify the authenticity of their work,” stated Barry Neary, vice president of product and service at KineMatik. “There is no user involvement in the Surety verification process, eliminating the chance of human error. It is an automated process that gives our customers an instant solution for protecting intellectual property and providing legal defensibility in any court of law.”
Through AbsoluteProof, KineMatik customers have perpetual proof that their electronic records are complete and unaltered, helping them to achieve all business, legal, and regulatory requirements. AbsoluteProof provides reliable authentication that is beyond challenge and establishes an indisputable timeline demonstrating the progress of intellectual property and first-to-invent claims.
“As more businesses turn to paperless data capture to meet R&D needs, particularly highly regulated and intensely scrutinized markets like chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, it is essential for these companies to prove the integrity of their electronic documents,” stated Tom Klaff, CEO of Surety. “By integrating our technology into the KineMatik CeR&D system, customers are able to generate long-lived evidence on exactly what electronic records were created and when, guaranteeing the trustworthiness of the documents indefinitely.”
