Elevate your lab: How to manage a successful LIMS implementation

Choosing the right LIMS is a challenge, but it can be accomplished with sufficient research and strong compatibility between your organization’s needs and the functionality of the software.

Once companies have selected the right LIMS, they will need to embark on the next stage of their journey – implementation. It is imperative that your implementation project is successful and efficient, driven by the strategic partnership and common goals that you and your vendor have established.

In this webinar, we will discuss how to achieve a successful laboratory software installation:

• Consider resources - a successful project needs key stakeholder involvement. What's usually expected from a customer? Who should be involved, and how much time will they need to commit?

• What are you looking to solve? You will have thought about this while selecting your solution, but you must revisit this to ensure you stay on track and understand the true scope of your project.

• Key LIMS project management considerations - Keep things simple, know your scope, work in phases. We'll cover all the common pitfalls of lab software projects and how to avoid them.

• Looking ahead. Your LIMS project doesn't stop when you go live. How can you ensure ongoing success through the life of your LIMS?

By attending this presentation, you will:

• learn how to elevate your laboratory with a successful LIMS implementation

• understand the important aspects of the implementation journey

• see how a successful implementation can ensure ongoing success for your organization
