3:00 Workshop A: Successful Laboratory Informatics: A New Approach to the Development of a Laboratory Automation & Information Infrastructure
(Lunch is included)
Laboratory & scientific work has become dependent on intelligent
instrumentation and information systems including LIMS & ELNs. Their
effective application is critical to the success of many companies. The
technological sophistication of today’s labs rival those of any IT organization
and managing that level of technology requires new skills. This workshop
will help you successfully develop and apply those skills.
How you will benefit:
Learn how a new methodology can help your company develop a scientific
information / automation infrastructure that can lead to:
- successful system design & implementation,
- reduced development and support costs,
- improving the return on investments in programs, and,
- providing a basis for technology, product, and data-life cycle management.
What you will learn:
- The structure of a successful laboratory automation & computing program,
- How that structure can lead to meeting compliance requirements,
- How laboratory process modeling can improve the flow of data & information both within the lab and between the lab and other departments
- How product and technology life-cycles can impact your labs and their ability to implement a data life-cycle program.

product selection. Based on industry experience and best practice analysis,
this workshop will help organizations formalize a process and approach to
ELN product selection.
How you will benefit:
- An expedited product decision leading to a faster implementation
- Improved probability of project success
- Ability to work with financial management on project justification
- Leverage the experiences of other organizations
What you will learn:
- The differences between commercially available ELN product types
- Best practices in the selection of an ELN product
- Process modeling from a data perspective
- How Use Cases streamline requirements development
- Approaches to return on investment (ROI) analysis
- Methodologies for change acceleration
