LIMS

This white paper provides an account of three transformational projects undertaken in three intensely competitive industries. You’ll meet a paperless biotechnology startup, a titan of the consumer goods industry, and a leading chemical company, each showing a possible way forward for others who seek the speed and agility of tech-enabled business harmonisation.

A Laboratory Information Management System or LIMS is a safe, efficient and affordable digital solution to laboratory management. Using a LIMS, you can collect data and manage your lab processes easily, giving you more time to focus on making new discoveries or ensuring quality products.

When modern LIMS software overtook traditional paper-based record-keeping in the lab, operations in every industry improved. Automated data collection drove efficiencies at the bench. Cloud solutions accelerated knowledge-sharing between partners. Built-in security and permission feature enhanced data integrity. There’s hardly a lab in operation right now that hasn’t gained from this leap towards digital transformation.

That was then. Today, forward-thinking lab managers are taking the next big leap, this time from data collection to data science.

Implementing a cloud LIMS isn’t a mandatory step in becoming ‘digital’. However, its underlying infrastructure and technology can jump start and be an integral component of your digital transformation.
