To achieve improved efficiencies, many organisations are increasingly focusing on how to optimise one of their key strategic resources – the Laboratory Information Management System, LIMS. As many organisations begin to re-assess their LIMS strategies they are starting to realise that it is now possible to get a new LIMS on a rental basis for the same yearly outgoings as they will pay for the annual support fees of a LIMS that they purchase outright.
“With our WinLims Rental offering, managers are recognising that they can actually afford to change their LIMS solution to get a new, modern system up and running that will work for them without costing them any more money than they are currently paying to a LIMS vendor for annual support fees,” explained Clive Collier, the Managing Director of Quality Systems International (QSI). WinLims Rental is a new tax efficient solution that allows a full-functionality Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to be brought within the reach of every laboratory.For those needing to conserve working capital, WinLims Rental is the ideal solution because it does not involve a large capital outlay, expensive running costs and offers a low up-front cost. The system is designed to self-install and includes installation programmes, tutorials and interactive training
aids that virtually eliminate set-up costs.
By adopting a rental strategy an organisation is able to pay for the LIMS through its return on investment (ROI) each month. WinLims Rental provides an opportunity to evaluate and prove the benefits of LIMS without the usual long-term commitment. Customers have the option to cancel the rental at a month’s notice. The rental agreements can also be easily converted to a subscription contract or full purchase at any time, keeping an organisation’s options open. WinLims Rental, which enables an organisation to grow its business more efficiently and avoids the obsolescence trap, also allows laboratory managers to
see time and cost savings while providing the capability to address a number of other strategic objectives such as data security, traceability and validation.
