An Overview of Waters Empower Training for Pharmaceutical Companies

There is a range of options available to pharmaceutical companies when it comes to training on Waters Empower software applications, particularly the Empower Chromatography Data System (CDS) platform. Training on Empower CDS can be delivered in multiple formats with different price points, outcomes, and learner experiences. Out of all the options that are available, the benefits of bespoke and facilitated training are compelling.

Examples of the outcomes and goals that can be achieved with bespoke and facilitated training include:

• Expanding your use of the Empower CDS platform, including automating and/or digitising additional pharma lab processes.
• Enhancing the confidence of laboratory staff in using Empower CDS, improving productivity in the process.
• Eliminating errors.
• Getting new staff up to speed on the Empower CDS platform.
• Upskilling staff to a higher level of Empower CDS proficiency.

As a certified Waters Empower training provider, we have experience helping pharmaceutical companies achieve all the above outcomes and goals with our bespoke and facilitated training offering. Find out more in our training shop.

What do we mean by bespoke and facilitated? Let’s look at what both options entail and why they are important.

What is Bespoke Empower CDS Training?

Bespoke Empower CDS training is fully customised to your laboratory operations and how you need to use this powerful, industry-leading software application. The training covers the relevant features and functionality of Empower, but the focus is on how your lab needs to use those features and functions.

In other words, the bespoke Empower CDS training that we provide at Westbourne IT directly addresses the specific challenges, objectives, and needs of your laboratory and wider business operations. Bespoke training focuses on the skills and knowledge that matter most in your business, delivering fast and tangible real-world benefits.

What is Facilitated Waters Empower Training?

Facilitated training is instructor-led, with an expert in Waters Empower CDS from Westbourne IT guiding your team through the training using a range of tools and digital media. Facilitated training can take place at your premises but it is equally as effective if carried out remotely using Microsoft Teams or similar technologies.
