Waters Chooses ANAQUA 9 for IP Management

World's leading specialty measurement company optimizes filing
efficiency and idea-to-asset workflow

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Anaqua,
Inc., a leading provider of Intellectual Property (IP) management
software and services, today announced that Waters
Corporation has selected ANAQUA to enhance its IP operations and
enable improved collaboration.

The $2 billion publicly traded specialty measurement technology company
will migrate its IP software from Lecorpio to Anaqua’s new ANAQUA 9
software.

The Anaqua software will now provide Waters with built-in data analytics
and flexibility to create and share interactive dashboards. Waters will
also be able to improve the efficiency of its idea-to-asset workflow as
the software will help them deliver the right information to the right
person at the right time, enabling the company to optimize filing
efficiency and see real-time analytics for each filing.

“We needed an IP management solution that could handle a significant
number of workflows and disclosures,” said Michael Lynn, Senior Director
and Managing Counsel of IP, Waters Corporation. “Internal and external
collaboration is much easier with Anaqua. The data analytics that once
took us hours to produce can be done at the click of a button.”

Waters, which delivers scientific solutions to laboratory-dependent
organizations, relies heavily on its IP assets to stay ahead of its
competitors. As the corporation continues to grow in size with direct
operations in more than 30 countries, Anaqua will help it align its IP
strategy with its fast-evolving business.

“Waters has established themselves as a world leader in the highly
competitive analytical science technology sector,” said Bob Romeo, CEO
of Anaqua. “We're delighted that Anaqua’s advanced analytics and
intuitive IP management tools will provide Waters with the quality of
insights required to make highly informed, strategic business decisions
that will help keep them ahead of the game.”
