Corporate IT teams are accustomed to purchasing a single solution (such as a financial accounting system) and then rolling it out globally to cover all operations around the world. The benefits of a single global solution include implementation of best practices and cost savings. Forcing labs in different parts of the enterprise to use a single, common configuration (perhaps optimized for a single location) is rarely successful.
Laboratories in a global organization rarely work in the same way, even within the same business unit. This is often due to local legislation, technical differences in locally available test methods, and local knowledge and skills. However, using a single global LIMS solution means that each laboratory’s procedures must be changed to adapt to the LIMS, which is not ideal. For example, the requirements for “localization” of reports, use of local languages, support for different local test methods and regulations often mean that a “one size fits all” approach is doomed to fail.
Autoscribe recommends a truly configurable LIMS. A LIMS that has the same code but can be adapted to local needs using configuration tools that do not require programming expertise. This way, each laboratory can use the same software but make their own specific configuration changes to suit their working practices and needs. The Matrix Gemini LIMS is designed to meet these criteria.
