I read a blog post recently from a LIMS consultant attempting to define what an independent LIMS consultant is. They defined “Independent” as “not directly involved with” and that it does not mean “small”. I agree with that definition. However, I contend that there is no such thing as an “Independent LIMS Consultant” or at least it is so rare that one can argue reasonably that it does not exist.

It seems like the modern software industry has passed most LIMS companies by. The modern software company has become very mature and competitive while LIMS software companies seem to be stagnant, lacking innovation and unwilling to provide even the most basic product information on their web sites; instead choosing to rely upon salesman promises over real concrete demonstration of product features and functions. This is the sort of behavior you would expect from software companies in the 1980’s and 90’s, not a modern software company.

Do you know any people like this? I sure do. The industry seems to be made up of sales people who proclaim technobabble as if they were an authority and when it comes down to it they don’t know how to define it let alone incorporate it into a product in any meaningful or applicable way. It is a hold over from the dot-bomb days and good riddance.

In this global world of cookie cutter mass produced products, the modern LIMS can stand out from those that are hard coded to a particular use. Avoid purchasing a hard coded LIMS. You can have a tailor fit with the price and quality of mass production. Progressive LIMS companies can avoid the downside of globalization and prosper by providing data driven, configurable solutions that fit the laboratory’s exacting needs.
