| December 16, 2008 Laboratory Informatics Weekly Update | Volume 6, Issue 50 | | In This Issue | LIMS Blog Postings | Beware of the LIMS, Assembly Required, Batteries not Included... I have noticed tons of job postings from customers who have purchased a LIMS who need developer help apparently to make it work. Just take a look at this link to LIMS Developer Jobs. I would have thought that when you purchase a LIMS that it would come pre-assembled and not in pieces such that you need a developer to make it work. I guess the box it comes in should say "WARNING! Assembly Required, batteries not included".
