Graduating from Spreadsheets to a True LIMS

April 25, 2018: Accelerated Technology Laboratories, Inc. (ATL), a leader in Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), continues the 2018 LIMS Webcast series on Wednesday, May 16th with Graduating from Spreadsheets to a True LIMS. This webcast is ideal for laboratories who are currently using paper logbooks or simple spreadsheets to perform sample management, analysis and reporting. We'll offer compelling reasons why labs should look at upgrading to a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) especially with some of the latest technology innovations that now make a LIMS affordable to even small laboratories.

Webcast Overview

We'll start our discussion by talking about laboratories that are currently operating using manual processes (paper logbooks) or simple spreadsheets for sample management. This is highly inefficient and is costing the organization in terms of decreased productivity and data quality. For these labs there are also challenges to meeting federal and state regulatory compliance requirements or industry standards like NELAP and ISO 17025. Also, lab testing services is highly competitive and being able to reduce turnaround time and allow customers 7/24 access to their test results and report history is becoming mandatory in many industries. And finally, the demand for Software as a Service (SaaS) or cloud-based deployment have really grown in popularity due to part to providing affordable LIMS options that previously did not exist.
