(12 Jan 2026) CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society specializing in scientific knowledge management, announces the launch of CAS Intelligence Hub, a secure, cloud-based platform that transforms fragmented scientific data into harmonized, AI-ready knowledge assets. The platform combines decades of CAS curation expertise with secure infrastructure, applying the same proven harmonization and structuring practices that power the CAS Content Collection™ to customer data. This integrated approach of expert services and technology addresses persistent challenges that have slowed digital transformation and AI adoption across pharmaceutical and chemical R&D organizations.
Despite significant investments in AI and digital initiatives, most scientific organizations struggle to achieve expected outcomes. Data remains fragmented across electronic lab notebooks, laboratory information management systems, instruments, data storage systems, and legacy archives. Insufficient data scope and lack of harmonization undermine AI accuracy and scalability, leading to wasted resources and slower innovation. CAS Intelligence Hub reduces these challenges by combining authoritative scientific content, expert-led data services, and secure infrastructure.
CAS Intelligence Hub tackles the major obstacles preventing successful digital transformation. Fragmented technology stacks create data silos that block integration across systems. Without standardized ontologies, teams spend weeks manually reconciling formats, labels, and units. Legacy data locked in outdated formats cannot be used for discovery or AI training. Limited integration of external data prevents novelty checks and cross-modality insights.
The platform ingests, harmonizes, enriches, and serves scientific data at scale. Customer-specific workspaces provide encrypted ingestion and controlled API delivery for compliance and intellectual property protection. The platform bridges existing systems without requiring infrastructure replacement, creating a unified knowledge environment that connects proprietary R&D data with authoritative CAS content.
CAS Intelligence Hub provides the secure infrastructure that enables CAS data solutions experts to apply proven curation practices directly to customer data. Through this integrated approach, organizations gain:
- Secure content management.
- Data structuring, standardization, and harmonization using proven CAS expertise.
- Robust data governance.
- Integration of proprietary data with authoritative CAS content.
- Seamless, secure information exchange.
- API access to AI-ready CAS content.
Organizations can outsource resource-intensive data management tasks to access harmonized datasets without building costly internal capabilities. The platform is now accessible to organizations seeking to transform their scientific data management. To learn more about the CAS Intelligence Hub, please visit https://www.cas.org/intelligence-hub.
