Abstract:
At some point in their career, most Lab Managers will implement or upgrade a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) within their lab. Although most Lab Managers have not had experience as Project Managers, they are often assigned the task of managing the implementation and serve as the key point of contact to the LIMS vendor. Without exposure to the common pitfalls, the project will often run fail. This results in an undeserving black eye to the project team and the software. Labtopia is an experienced implementer of LIMS. Our experts have worked both in laboratories and as the vendor implementing the system. Our experience has allowed us to understand issues that impact the success of any LIMS project. This presentation will discuss issues experienced across many LIMS projects and how they can be recognized and mitigated early in the project.
