History

Technology and products

In May 2011, Accelrys, Inc. announced it had acquired Swedish developer Contur Software.[1] Accelrys stated the purchase of Contur and its ELN allowed Accelrys to offer an ELN option for smaller organizations.[2]

On July 19, 2011, Contur Software, allowed to work as a separate entity, announced it had changed the name of its ConturELN to iLabber "to give our customers a better and clearer overview of our offering."[3] This may lead to some confusion, because as of April 2013, Accelrys still refers to the product as "Contur ELN" on its website. (Though the company seems to recognize this, in some of its documentation (PDF) referring to the software by both names.)
