AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Inari, a seed company revolutionizing plant breeding by tapping into natural genetic diversity, selected L7 Informatics, the leader in life + crop science informatics platforms, to integrate Inari's global research data, processes and bioinformatics.

Founded in 2016 by Flagship Pioneering, Inari aims to substantially reduce plant breeding time and cost. The company unites biological and data sciences to provide its scientists with unprecedented capabilities to create new crops better suited for local environments. Working with independent seed companies to deliver its technology, Inari's approach will allow growers to use less land, water, fertilizers and other inputs to feed the growing global population.

Earlier in February 2019, Inari expanded its research footprint to Europe, with the opening of a laboratory in Ghent, Belgium.  While this expansion provides Inari access to advanced resources and talent in one of the world's premier hubs for plant research, it also created a need to synchronize its research operations.

Inari selected L7's Enterprise Science Platform ("ESP") to support its rapidly growing global business operations, starting with its Cambridge, MA, West Lafayette, IN and Ghent, Belgium facilities. ESP will be deployed to support Inari's end-to-end research processes: from early stage R&D all the way through development.

ESP's highly flexible and configurable process engine will support standardizing processes globally while providing flexibility to local teams to still build custom workflows without need of any programming.

"We are honored and humbled to work with Inari," shared Vasu Rangadass, President & CEO of L7 Informatics. "We are confident that the ESP platform will provide the data Integrity and process automation capabilities to enable Inari to realize their vision to reintroduce nature's genetic diversity and creating novel seeds to help feed the growing global population using less water and fertilizer."
