Product Development Experts on Enginuity
"This is a must-have if you are going to continue to progress in this industry. If you want to maintain status quo, you don’t need it – remain slow, have errors, put out the fires, do the re-work." Rushi Tasker "The reality is that if you don't
understand the metaphor and the context of how the chemist works – you
don't understand how they think and act – then you can't build the
right software. You can have the data, but it won't work for them.
Enginuity gets it, they understand." Chief Information Officer (CIO) Revlon Consumer Products Corporation Paul Wallace Associate Director of Product Development The Procter & Gamble Company "Things that took 20 to 30 minutes are taking 5; things that used to be labor-intensive I now do routinely. I can now make a change and reissue in 5 minutes. I can duplicate formulas, propagate them, change the order of additions, change materials, adjust percentages—we just drag and drop… It is comfortable, it works, and I love it—you can quote me on that." Cindy Moser “Enginuity and Documentum allowed Pfizer to synchronize their innovation, scientists, formulations and processes.” Rose-Emily Calo Rushi Tasker "At first, our chemists didn’t want a system, but we have won them over by giving them the tool that they wanted to help them innovate, and develop better formulas with less effort." Dominick Bartenope "Real-time costing
is a great benefit. On one recent project, we used
our formula design tools for about 30 minutes and ended up saving several hundred thousand dollars." ... “Zotos tried in the past to work with spreadsheets and other documents, but the limitations of these tools led to errors and resulted in wrong percentages and incorrect materials in formulations." ... "Now the whole process is taking less time. We have accelerated the process of formula creation and formula approval all the way to releasing formulas from within R&D to the factory.” Rushi Tasker "Chemists say it helps them develop formulas and catches errors so they don’t have to go back and reformulate – they really like using it. The higher ups really believe in the product because they see the business value." Steve Doering Database Administrator Revlon Consumer Products Corporation "Certain requests used to take a four-day search – it was bad. That information is now at our fingertips. I don’t have to ask questions like ‘Where do I find this information?’ or ‘Who would know about this other data?’ I can ask more important design questions instead of tracking down seven people that may or may not know the answer to my question." Cindy Moser "The digital notebook allows the chemist to document the formulation from the very beginning, without doing additional work.” ... "Now, we don’t add a material that is being phased out, or is on regulatory hold, because rules in Enginuity warn the formulators and prevent them from making mistakes." ... “Getting to market more quickly requires avoiding the dead-end approaches that have already been explored. We get a lot of insights by comparing formulas." Dominick Bartenope |
