Recently there has been a very active discussion on the LIMSforum concerning the potential need for a term or acronym that describes a comprehensive, functional Laboratory Informatics System that manages all aspects of Laboratory Information. There is a growing trend in the LIMS industry to have a comprehensive, full featured LIMS that provides for traditional LIMS functionality as well as functionality for Electronic Laboratory Notebooks, Enterprise Content Management (ECM) or Scientific Data Management System (SDMS) along with a host of other functionality such as ERP/accounting integration, HR integration, CDS (Chromatography Data Systems), Chemical Inventory, Batch Record Management, analyst workflow management and the list goes on and on.
Please take a moment to give your opinion as to what term works best if any:
Best Practices in Cross-LIMS Data Migration on Vantage Point
You may remember from your primary school days those puzzles that were used to stimulate the learning process by adding amusement to the teaching of subjects that required a certain degree of memorization, like geography for instance. I recall a battery-powered interactive map showing marks of a certain geographical area with all names removed and haphazardly displayed in one side, little metal rods to connect each mark on the map to the right name in the list, closing the electrical circuit and switching a lamp or a buzzer on. I actually remember even building one featuring a map of Italy with regions and main cities for a lab assignment.Cloud Computing for the Enterprise: An Interview with Henry Fastert of SHI on Vantage Point
