Why did you choose RnDExp™ ?

Zhang He (RnDExp™ Administrator): "I have appreciated a lot the attention paid to my project during commercial discussions. Doriane's team has demonstrated their software RnDExp™ and I found what I was looking for: With RnDExp™ I am able to define and configure easily different protocols, and I can set functions in order to define unique experiments. Also the flexibility of RnDExp™ enables to extend its use, not only for breeding activities, but also for optimizing all data and processes of the whole research department. With experimentation, selection and analysis module, it is not only breeding research management software, but also a general configurable research management system. "
