Beyond the Upgrade: What to Consider Before Migrating to STARLIMS v12.x
Modernizing a legacy LIMS with the STARLIMS Technology Platform v12.x involves more than adopting new technology. Laboratories must evaluate existing customizations, retire technical debt, and take advantage of expanded HTML5 functionality and architectural enhancements to improve long-term maintainability. Successful migration also requires early risk-based Computer System Validation (CSV) and cross-functional governance.
This article explores how laboratories can approach LIMS modernization by assessing existing workflows, identifying opportunities for improvement, and separating custom functionality from core software updates. It examines how thoughtful migration planning can reduce total cost of ownership, strengthen system sustainability, and turn a necessary technology upgrade into an opportunity to improve laboratory operations.
