This guide will help organizations select the best Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) software for their business requirements.
Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) Overview
​Macro level challenges to increase innovation, improve governance, manage risk, comply with regulatory requirements, and deliver quantifiable operational results while simultaneously maintain margins have a trickledown effect into the laboratory. As the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) phenomenon takes root, a new wrinkle facing manufacturers in the software selection process is that of deployment option: on premise, cloud, or a hybrid approach.
The market for LIMS is impacted by the same trends that impact the global economy and the software industry: cloud, mobile technology, big data, and analytics. To gain a competitive advantage, enterprises must leverage these technologies to increase uptime, improve operating performance, and ensure product quality. Other forces impacting the market are the emergence of fast-growing new economies, competition for resources, and a workforce that expects more from technology and applications. LIMS can act as a collaboration tool to connect parties and facilitate work in the lab.
