HILLSDALE, N.Y., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- A new software company called CeuticalSoft has begun providing product and programming services to the Pharmaceutical industry. CeuticalSoft specializes in Microsoft Excel programming for pre-clinical drug research. Their product strategy consists of interchangeable modules that are contained in an engineered framework to enable the rapid assembly of novel applications. The company was founded by industry veteran Chip Allee. Mr. Allee has helped launch several other biotech companies and has held positions at Oxford Molecular and Genentech. Mr. Allee states, "By helping companies upgrade their existing Excel infrastructure into an engineered format our customers will be able to realize immediate productivity gains without having to wait years for the glue to dry on long term enterprise software solutions." Mr. Allee further observed, "The majority of number crunching in research labs is done with home-grown Excel macros but they are often disorganized, inefficient and hard to maintain. CeuticalSoft aims to build from the existing software base of a lab rather than pursue the software replacement strategy embraced by our competitors."
A distribution center for Excel macros and technical articles can be found on their web site along with an invitation for contributions from academic and industry scientists. CeuticalSoft will also build macros for free as a service to the scientific community if they contain relatively simple requirements. There are several other unusual nooks and crannies on their web site including their "What the Heck?" section that contains brash commentary on business management with the likes of articles titled "Irish Guys Compiling" and "Civil Disobedience". Mr. Allee explained, "We would like to become a community center for Excel users and developers in the drug discovery business. If we provide the expertise and organization, many labs with limited resources will be able to show significant productivity gains through simple improvements."
With the combination of refreshing candor and strategic engineering CeuticalSoft looks like a start-up ready to do battle.
