Where is the LIMS industry headed?

Back in 2011, I started a discussion in the LIMS forum group asking the group for thoughts about where the LIMS industry was heading.  The discussion had 38 responses.  It is now coming up on 2017 and I think it is time to revisit this question.  Here is the original discussion:  /forum/where-is-the-lims-industry-headed/

Visit the discussion and post your thoughts on the direction you would like LIMS applications to head.
