Pipeline Pilot was selected by a panel of four judges as the best Knowledge Management and Collaboration Application.

'The winners of the first-ever 'Best of Show' Awards program were selected based on their ability to make a significant, measurable impact on the life sciences sector by enabling scientists and other industry professionals to accelerate and streamline the critical research and development process,' said John Russell, executive editor, Bio-IT World, and project manager for the 'Best of Show' Awards.
