I am screening libraries and need a more robust repository for my data than reams of Excel spreadsheets »
CDD gives you all the advantages of an industrial-strength database...
- reliability
- data integrity
- organization
- heterogeneous data formats
- mining across all data sets
but with the ease of use and flexibility associated with Excel files. The CDD database easily imports from and exports to Excel, CSV, SD, and SDF files.
I am in a collaboration and want to see my colleagues’ data in real time »
The CDD database allows all group members and authorized collaborators to see data as they are updated.
I already have an in-house database from another vendor, but it’s too expensive to maintain and too hard to use »
The CDD database is industrial-strength software priced to be affordable for academic laboratories. There’s nothing to install or “roll out”, just log in securely from any computer (Windows, Mac, Linux) and go. Your data is automatically encrypted and backed up
securely and privately
to multiple redundant sites hosted by CDD. There’s no hardware to maintain, no software to update, and no need to pay an IT specialist. CDD provides full customer support no matter how large or small your organization is. The web-based interface is intuitively organized, enabling new users (including students) to get started with minimal training.
I don’t have the IT staff to maintain and support an in-house database and worry about security »

I run an academic lab. When my students leave, I have trouble accessing their datasets and sharing them with new students »
The CDD database keeps all your group’s data in a centralized repository (which CDD automatically keeps backed up for you). You can easily keep track of your students’ data at any time.
I am a chemist and I am working with a biologist in the same company. We have collaboration tools, but they do not understand chemistry or biology »
The CDD database differs from other collaboration tools in that it designed specifically to manage and search preclinical research data (including both biology and chemistry data). Other companies offer similar database products, but they are not designed to support collaborations. (They are also expensive and difficult to support.)
I work for a startup company and need a secure database optimized for preclinical research data. We do not have the resources of a large company »
The CDD database provides nearly all the key features found in expensive, conventional research database products, but with a much lower total cost of ownership. There’s nothing to install or “roll out”, just log in securely from any computer (Windows, Mac, Linux) and go. Your data is automatically encrypted and backed up
securely and privately
to multiple redundant sites hosted by CDD. There’s no hardware to maintain, no software to update, and no need to pay an IT specialist.

Key benefits for all users
- Capture and organize fragmented data.
- Keep pace with high-throughput experiments so data sets don’t pile up unanalyzed.
- Avoid performing redundant research work.
- Maintain project continuity when group members leave.
- Ensure data integrity and availability by archiving to CDD’s safe and secure repository.
- Exploit sophisticated cheminformatics and bioinformatics tools without the need for specialized informatics training.
- Extract the greatest value from preclinical data.
- Mine your own data together with open-access data through a single, intuitive interface.
- Integrate dispersed efforts: test Group A's compounds with Group B's models against Group C's new target.
- Control your data: keep your data completely private, exchange some data confidentially with colleagues you specify, or share openly with the scientific community; specify which data sets to share, with whom to share them, and when they can be shared.
