Scientific Search
Search experiences are built around structure and crystallographic information rather than ordinary text-only records.
Scientific Software Development Case Study
MyCrystallography: specialized scientific search, visualization and analysis software.
MyCrystallography demonstrates Toledo Consulting's ability to develop software for specialized technical domains where ordinary business applications are not enough.
The Challenge
Technical users need search and visualization built around scientific data.
The platform is designed around crystallography workflows, including structure searching, molecular and crystal visualization, analysis and comparison. The application illustrates how Toledo Consulting can learn a specialized domain and build interfaces around its data rather than forcing the problem into generic software.
Data Visualization
Interactive visualization gives researchers a way to inspect structures and crystallographic context inside the application.
Research Workflow
Search, visualization, analysis and collaboration are brought together in a web-based research environment.
What It Demonstrates
Custom database applications can support highly specialized work.
Not every organization needs another generic CRM. Research groups, technical organizations and niche industries often need purpose-built software that understands their terminology, data relationships and workflow.
Domain-specific data
Application structures can be designed around specialized records and relationships.
Complex interfaces
Technical data can be made usable through purpose-built search, display and visualization experiences.
Web accessibility
Browser-based delivery makes specialized tools easier to access and evolve without desktop software deployment.
