Starlims, a provider of laboratory information management systems (Lims), has announced the opening of the Starlims Center of Excellence in Life Sciences (COE)
The new Starlims Center of Excellence in Life Sciences (COE) is part of Starlims Canada, which recently became a wholly owned Starlims subsidiary after over a decade of close partnership.
Rich and varied life science expertise.
The hub of life sciences domain expertise within Starlims, the new COE brings together over 30 professionals who have rich and varied expertise in life science information management solutions.
The COE will serve Starlims's global customer base in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and CRO industries.
Its mission is to optimize Starlims solutions to precisely suit the needs of life science organizations, while providing industry-specific support for Starlims professional service specialists around the world.
An outgrowth of growing operations in the life sciences sector.
"In many ways, our team in Canada has already been functioning as a life science COE - leveraging years of pharmaceutical and clinical expertise to support Starlims teams and customers," said Jeff Ferguson, chief operating officer at Starlims.
"We are thrilled to formalize this development, and to bring such a talented group of individuals into our company." According to Ferguson, the decision to establish the center reflects the professional achievements of the Canadian team, and the expectation that the new COE will provide key support for Starlims's expanding presence in the life sciences sector.
Developing industry-specific expertise.
"The establishment of this COE reflects our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive off-the-shelf solutions that meet the needs of organizations in selected industries," added Ferguson.
"Recruiting and developing in-house domain expertise together with establishing key domain partnerships in each of the industries that we serve is bringing to life our vision for easy-to-use collaborative solutions".
"The center will also enhance our operational efficiency as we strive to remain the easiest laboratory/enterprise system company to engage in projects."
