"Materials modeling, when used to solve a problem with
an existing product, saved over £500k in development costs.This work found a
solution in less than two weeks, so the cost of the software was re-couped in
about one week."
(Dr. Richard Gilbert, Principal Scientist - Biosensors, e2v Technologies)
