Considerations in Purchasing a LIMS

Many scientific enterprises find themselves in need of a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to replace an incumbent system, whether an existing commercial application, an amalgam of systems, or an in-house solution. Once the decision has been made, the selection and deployment of a new LIMS should move quickly and decisively. In the whitepaper recently released, Randy C. Hice, Global Strategy Manager at Abbott Informatics, provides insights on how to select a commercial LIMS.

Preventing/Minimizing Scope Creep

Have you been in this situation: You just began a new LIMS project and everything appears to be going smoothly. However, as the project continues to move forward, you start to lose control and it feels like the project has taken on a life of its own.
