Informatics Consulting Unit Launched

Following the acquisition of the assets of Laboratory Expertise Center, Inc (LEC), Starlims Technologies Ltd, is now able to provide a specialist informatics consulting services to its customers. LEC Founder and President Randy Hice, a laboratory informatics authority with 24
years of consultancy expertise, will head the new unit. “Our Web-based LIMS solutions are ideal for multi-site and multinational implementations, projects that also require specialised planning and implementation expertise. Drawing on the assets of LEC, we will help customers standardise and harmonise laboratory processes across disparate disciplines, labs, and multinational sites. Starlims will also help customers channel their resources into the LIMS functions that are most critical to their business,” said Starlims CEO Itschak Friedman. “As of today, the only major vendor who is fully invested in an interoperable web-based enterprise LIMS is Starlims. We believe these capabilities are necessary for large distributed implementations, a growing piece of the market - and LEC’s consulting services strength lies precisely in such complex projects,” said Randy Hice.
“Many companies are interested in consolidating processes and resources, often following mergers and acquisitions of sites with dissimilar processes, compliance requirements and IT infrastructures. What holds them back from creating a harmonised informatics environment is often lack of confidence that available applications will meet their needs, or uncertainty about the methodology to define a workable harmonisation strategy. Today, Starlims not only addresses the application dilemma, but it also brings proven techniques for workflow analysis that serve as the foundation for harmonisation.”
