SciTegic

The company was founded in February 1999 by Mathew A. Hahn and David Rogers.{{cite web| url=http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=2813731| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110430095245/http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=2813731| url-status=dead| archive-date=April 30, 2011|title=SciTegic Company Overview| website=businessweek.com| accessdate=29 May 2014}} Mathew Hahn and David Rogers came from the bioinformatics software company Molecular Simulations.{{cite web|url=http://www.freewebs.com/stimit11aca/Readings/Emerging%20Company%20Profile%20SciTegic%20Data%20Pipelining.pdf| title=Emerging company profile - SciTegic Data Pipelining|last=Farr-Jones|first=Shauna|date=16 Apr 2001|website=Biocentury - The Bernstein Report on BioBusiness|accessdate=29 May 2014}}

In 2004, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Accelrys after a $21.5 million deal.[http://www.outsourcing-pharma.com/Clinical-Development/Accelrys-announces-merger-with-SciTegic Accelrys announces merger with SciTegic]

Pipeline pilot was designed to reduce the manual data entry and transfer steps required of computational chemists and project chemists in screening and modeling workflows.{{cite journal|title=Data Pipelines and Virtual Screening: Automating the Process| journal=QSAR Comb. Sci.|volume=25|year= 2006|issue=12 |pages= 1181–1191|publisher=Wiley-VCH|doi=10.1002/qsar.200610089|last1=Brown|first1= Robert D.|last2=Varma-O'Brien|first2=Shika|last3=Rogers|first3=David}} A streamlined workflow could then be used by bench scientists and reduce the need to interact with multiple software packages to one interface.

Creating Pipeline Pilot, SciTegic has pioneered a technology approach called "Data Pipelining" to flexibly process drug discovery data.{{cite journal|last1=Warr|first1=Wendy A.|title=Scientific workflow systems: Pipeline Pilot and KNIME|journal=Journal of Computer-Aided Molecular Design|volume=26|issue=7|year=2012|pages=801–804|issn=0920-654X|doi=10.1007/s10822-012-9577-7|pmid=22644661|pmc=3414708|bibcode=2012JCAMD..26..801W }} This software uses a visual and dataflow programming language much like LabVIEW for piping input and output of commands together to build a pipeline to transform any number of inputs (raw data) into any number of outputs (e.g., a spreadsheet tying together the results of multiple experiments).

Mathew Hahn assumed technical leadership roles, including Chief Technology Officer, for Accelrys after the acquisition.
