09-02-2008: Cefic, representing the European Chemical Industry together with 5 national associations has put in place a service which shall facilitate and ease the exchange of information between companies with the final goal of submitting the registration dossiers as foreseen by the REACH Regulation. According to Cefic, SIEFreach is a reliable and efficient collaboration tool based on the state-of-the art solutions provided by IBM. The system went live on 21 August 2008.
Cefic took the initiative to offer via the SIEFreach platform the possibility for companies to organise the exchange of information in a user-friendly manner. Through the Substance Information Exchange Forum (SIEF) companies will be able to exchange test and other data on their identical chemical substances, which means that these companies will gain time and cut costs by enhancing their communication through a structured channel. Another important outcome will be that animal testing can be minimised.
ReachLink makes available a European SIEF management IT system to all European chemical and related other companies impacted by REACH, as from August 21, 2008. SIEFreach, as the system is called, is an industry-wide shared IT platform.
The SIEFreach solution, consisting of the SIEFreach application and portal is designed, developed and maintained by an IBM team. The IT platform is based on IBM WebSphere and Lotus collaboration software and is hosted by IBM. On top of the hosting, IBM will also provide the application helpdesk for the end user.
Alain Perroy, Director General of Cefic, explains why they chose to partner with IBM: “Cefic and IBM provide a state-of-the-art, flexible and scalable collaboration solution fitting the specific needs of the chemical industry.”
Isabelle Verleye, Associate Partner IBM Global Business Services, confirms the IBM commitment towards ReachLink: “Our global team is dedicated to making this solution a success for ReachLink and the chemical industry now and in the coming years. We have used our full equation to enable efficient collaboration for the chemical industry leading to a successful registration. “
