Adobe's Rx for Streamlining Your Clinical Development cycle

The Life Sciences industry can’t afford not to invest in new ways to support virtual, distributed, cross functional global teams and alliances for all aspects of R&D. Reducing costs by compromising safety or efficacy is not an acceptable prescription for a new drug launch. However, there is a great opportunity to reduce the sting of clinical development costs associated with manual, paper-based, repetitive processes. Some examples include investigator recruitment, financial disclosure requirements, patient enrollment, and clinical supply management. These processes are the same for every clinical trial regardless of therapeutic area or the size of the clinical trial.

A Case Study in Harmonizing LIMS and ERP / MRP Systems

"The Quality Control department is integral to companies successfully meeting regulatory requirements. However QC departments need far greater numbers of analysts when they rely on paper-based data entry systems. Reliance on paper-based and manual entry systems also has huge inherent potential for typographical errors that significantly impact business costs. Links between the Laboratory Information Management System and the ERP / MRP systems are a must in order to meet the ever-growing demands for in-depth analysis, faster turnaround times and faster out of specification warnings."

Time to Replace Your LIMS?

Companies are opting to replace their existing legacy systems with leading Commercial Off-The Shelf (COTS) LIMS solutions. Replacement drivers include: loss of key personnel, vendor refocus on other industries and high maintenance costs. STARLIMS has a record for straightforward conversions of legacy knowledge and information systems.

What is a LIMS?

LIMS is the acronym for a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). It is a system that allows laboratories to trace and track all samples or specimens that are received into the laboratory, tests performed; methods utilized, their results, any changes to results, control limits, QC values, and should also track the analyst, date and time of each step in the analysis process.
