The Challenge

Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytic technique used to identify unknown compounds, quantify known materials, and show the molecular structure and chemical properties of organic and inorganic substances. The quadrupole mass spectrometers that MDS SCIEX manufactures are required equipment in labs for measuring trace analytical chemicals.

Reaktion von Dassault Systèmes

MDS SCIEX selected the eMatrix™ collaboration platform from MatrixOne® and worked closely with the company to design a system rollout plan that would ensure user acceptance. Young explains, “A full 50% of complex software products are never turned on after they’re purchased. Another 35% get turned on, but they never work as planned. For us, eMatrix falls into the last 15%—a software system that works quite well, and yields the expected benefits. Successfully rolling out enterprise software solutions is 20% technology and 80% people and process.
