In modern laboratories, a wide range of software solutions is utilized to deliver analytical results to both internal and external customers. These solutions encompass supporting software applications for analytical instruments, as well as workflow tools like LIMS, electronic notebooks, and scientific data management systems. Despite the availability of these tools for many years, few laboratories or companies have a structured plan or cohesive strategy to ensure their proper implementation and integration. Consequently, many laboratories fail to realize the full benefits in terms of efficiency, productivity, quality, and cost. This course aims to equip participants with an understanding of the value of Laboratory Systems Integration, how to justify its implementation, and how to effectively implement it in a cost-efficient manner.

Course Objectives:

Tools will be provided to help participants evaluate solutions or approaches in their own laboratories. Pitfalls and success stories from real-world case studies will be discussed. Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences and current challenges in a workshop format and the key aspects of successful integration plans will be discussed.

Who Should Attend?

The course is targeted for laboratory managers, chemists, and technicians from all industries but will also be of interest to IT personnel. Special attention will be paid to the needs of the pharmaceutical industry.

Course Outlines:

The topics that will be discussed:

The benefits of Laboratory Systems integration
Planning
