Streamlined LIMS Implementation for a Growing Biotech Company

Our client, a growing biotech company, required a new LIMS system but was unsure which one to choose. We provided end-to-end support, starting from vendor selection to full implementation, including project management, configuration, validation, training, SOPs creation, and ongoing support.

Challenge:

The client needed a LIMS solution tailored to their unique requirements and workflows, keeping in mind the costs and IT support available for customization. They required a comprehensive vendor selection process and a seamless implementation plan to ensure the system's success.

Approach:

We deployed our consultants to interview business users from different departments, gathering their specific needs and workflows. This information was used to create a customized scorecard for vendor evaluation. Ultimately, we recommended LabVantage LIMS as the optimal solution for the client's intended use.

Implementation:

Our team provided comprehensive support, including project management, business analysis, system configuration, master data development, validation, training, and SOPs creation. We ensured a seamless transition to the new LIMS system and continued to provide ongoing support for enhancements and maintenance.

Outcomes:

The successful LIMS implementation has led to increased efficiency and satisfaction among the client's users. Our team has completed two additional phases for the client and has been retained for the fourth and fifth phases, which include implementing environmental monitoring and instrument integration.

Lessons Learned:

A thorough vendor selection process, combined with expert consultation and comprehensive implementation support, can lead to a successful LIMS implementation. Understanding the unique needs of different departments and users, and providing tailored solutions, ensures the long-term success and sustainability of the system.
