Core Informatics� staff has spent their entire careers providing custom software to the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. We started in the laboratory before we became informatics professionals and as a result we have a very strong appreciation for the unique needs of the laboratory scientist. This experience within the industry has taught us that every company�s approach to research is different.
Our Core LIMS product was designed with configuration in mind from the onset. As a result we handle the configuring process differently from most LIMS vendors. Prior to delivering a price quotation we interview the key players in the lab, management and IT to identify the needs of each group. As part of these interviews we document every lab�s workflows and determine if and where customizations to our core system are required to meet the individual needs of the scientists. We also identify where data flows into and out of each workflow and strive to capture as much information as possible about each lab�s processes.
Our configuration process leads to a detailed proposal and accurate price quotation. In general, most client customizations account for an increase of 2 to 6 weeks for delivery and between 5 and 15 percent in the price. In our experience, this relatively small increase in time and cost makes all the difference to our clients. What we ultimately deliver is their custom LIMS system and not our product.
