Re-usable workflows: Researchers can capture their questions and decision-making processes. These records can be saved, shared with colleagues, compared and re-run to improve productivity.

Improved workflows: Daily and weekly research workflows can be quickly configured to enable researchers' data to follow their data collation and decision-making needs.

Enriched data: Research information viewed in Isentris applications can be enriched from diverse sources, such as Web services or third-party calculators.
