Ovation: comprehensive data management and collaboration from bench to cloud

created by scientists for scientists

Physion Ovation

Our mission: to be a trusted partner in helping great scientists do great science

We are: Dropbox + domain model for scientific data

We provide: Intuitive data management and collaboration services to help accelerate your science

ovation.io: SaaS data replication and archiving service with cross-platform desktop application for browsing, searching, and annotating data.

“Dropbox for scientific data”, enables modern team-based science

Biomedical research is inefficient —we are in search of solutions

"Colossal changes in biomedical research technologies and methods have shifted the bottleneck in scientific productivity from data production to data management, communication, and interpretation.”

NIH Data and Informatics Working Group Report

• “Data and informatics” are an NIH critical initiative to sustain the future of U.S. biomedical research

• NIH recently hired the first Director for Data Science

What is Ovation?

Seamless organization of multiple data formats and sources

Preservation of the link between raw data and analyses

The ability to securely share of all of this with colleagues and collaborators.

Ovation is the revolutionary data management and collaboration platform that empowers researchers through:

Ovation — integrates with your existing workflow

Ovation data model – streamlined data management and collaboration

Organize – efficient research and long term value preservation

Challenge

• Heterogeneous data and local custom create isolated data silos

• Returning to old data sets wastes time re-learning or re-working

• Missing metadata makes search hard or impossible

• Cloud-based analytical resources do not integrate with in-lab pipelines

Solution

• Common data model from more than 10 years of R&D - Ovation’s data model accommodates a wide variety of data types and project/experiment designs including high- and low-throughput designs and data formats

• Full metadata organization makes data fully interpretable from Ovation — no rework or relearning required

• Integrated, cloud-scale search uses complete metadata to find relevant data

Organize – Key Features

• Organize complete projects and all associated data

- Link all raw data, analyses, notes and observations through a simple data model of: Project, Experiment, Protocol, Measurement, Analysis

Organize – Key Features

• Choose and compare multiple data sets in across subject history

Organize – Key Features

• Add custom annotations to increase search effectiveness and annotation flexibility

• Collect data across modalities and devices

Track provenance – capture value from every interaction with your data

Challenge

• Lack of data transparency and provenance makes it hard or impossible for future stakeholders to inspect or repeat analyses

• Experts’ knowledge and intuition is lost because it’s not stored with the data

• Provenance is lost at organizational boundaries (research groups, in-lab vs. cloud, etc.)

Solution

• Ovation maintains a, repeatable and inspectable analysis chain from reagents, subjects and raw data to final product(s)

• Ovation stores annotations (notes, keywords, personal metadata, etc.) with the data so no knowledge is lost

• Ovation’s data model treats annotations and analyses as first-class data

Track – Key Features

• View data and analyses side by side

• Maintain links between raw data and analyses

Track – Key Features

• Individuals can build on analyses with their own analysis file, all while maintaining the original primary analysis, and tracking who contributed each analysis. Each step in a complex analysis pipeline is traceable.

- Avoid duplication of primary and intermediate analyses- Track who did what, when and where (and how)

Share – help your teams collaborate across projects, organizations or geography

Challenge

• Conversations over email, instant message or phone are divorced from the data

• Discovering data and collaborators is hard without face-to-face time or concrete recommendations from peers

• Functional, organizational or geographic boundaries inhibit free information flow

Solution

• Ovation collects conversations with the data for more efficient communication.

• Patent pending search and recommendation enables researchers to discover relevant data sets and expert analysts

• Ovation’s common data model facilitates information transfer between teams

• Secure, cloud-based data management frees users from mechanics of data transfer and synchronization

Share – Key Features

• Collaboration permissions: you decide who sees what and when

• Ovation’s cloud is highly secure and fully auditable, with technical infrastructure for HIPPA/HITECH and 21CFR

Share – Key Features

• Conversations maintain direct links to data and can refer to individual data elements or analyses or entire projects or experiments.

• All collaborators see the same data, annotations and analyses—no duplicated data sets

• Share entire projects, along with associated data, protocols, analyses and notes, with just one click
