Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc announces that it is Web-enabling its laboratory information management systems (LIMS) offerings by utilising
Microsoft's ClickOnce deployment technology to create a solution that combines the rich functionality and performance of the desktop client
delivered via the simplicity of a Web interface.

makers seek software applications that leverage the transport capabilities of the web, but also leverage the power of the desktop for superior usability." By Web-enabling its LIMS, Thermo Fisher provides
customers a hassleâfree deployment strategy, as well as easy maintenance and transparent updates from a central point on the network.
"With Web-enabled Thermo Scientific LIMS, organisations now have access to a full-featured LIMS with an efficient and cost-effective deployment mechanism," said Dave Champagne, vice president and general manager of Thermo Fisher Scientific, Informatics. Global organisations are seeking applications that take advantage of the flexibility of the Web, while still harnessing the full power and rich user experience of desktop clients.
Thermo Scientific LIMS enabled by Microsoft's ClickOnce software has been introduced in response to customer demand, and delivers the
core functionality that IT departments require while using fewer computer resources.
