Empower Business Continuity (BC) LAC/E
Don’t let disasters disrupt your work
With increased cyberactivity (malware and ransomware) and natural disasters on the rise, it is critical to not only prepare for disaster with a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) but also to proactively prepare your organization with a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) that includes how to continue operations while disconnected from the network.
Empower Business Continuity (BC) Laboratory Acquisition Control Environment (LAC/E) with SecureSync keeps your lab operations running with a simple switch from Empower Enterprise mode to Business Continuity mode – safely, with traceability, and in a controlled manner – so you can continue working without your network for as long as the interruption lasts.
Overview
- Proactively prepare for disruptions, interruptions, and data losses
- Perform controlled switching with full traceability using a single device
- Synchronize relevant data from Empower Enterprise to the bench in advance
- Continue your lab operations until connectivity is restored
- Achieve complete data transparency where no data can be hidden on the platform
- Obtain exclusive access to Waters Computer System Validation (CSV) and Informatics Solution Architect (ISA) experts to ensure your DRP and BCP have every angle covered
Recommended Use: For safely continuing operations during network disconnection, with traceability and in a controlled manner.

Designed to protect and connect
Designed to perform instrument control, data acquisition, remote processing, and manage short-term network interruptions, the Empower Enterprise LAC/E solution provides enhanced raw data security and robust remote access to instrument systems. In the event of a short-term network disruption, your Empower LAC/E continues acquisition and protects your data using buffering. During buffering, raw data is written to and stored on the hard drive of the LAC/E and, when communication is re-established, all data is automatically uploaded to the server with full traceability, ensuring your data is always protected and that no data is ever lost.
Proactively prepare for long-term disruptions
In the event of a natural disaster or virus attack, if your Empower Enterprise is unavailable for an extended period, Empower BC LAC/E with SecureSync plays an integral role by quickly and automatically restoring your critical lab operations. Empower BC LAC/E provides the same functionality as the Empower Enterprise LAC/E but with the added capability of offering operational continuity during a long-term network outage. Using this single, multi-purpose device, you can securely control the transition from Enterprise LAC/E mode to BC LAC/E mode with full traceability.
In addition, with the added capability of SecureSync, you can proactively prepare for long-term disruptions in the event of a disaster. SecureSync automatically synchronizes all the Empower Software information needed to analyze your samples to the BC LAC/E and ensures you are using your same validated methods, calculations, and Empower Software controls. This combined solution enables you to switch over quickly and operate independently with full traceability for as long as the disruption lasts.
