Accreditation demonstrates that Starlims version 10 has successfully met a comprehensive set of criteria for good design, development and integration with the EMC Documentum platform
Starlims version 10 has received the 'designed for EMC Documentum' accreditation, a mark of quality and value that customers depend on in enterprise applications.
Starlims Technologies develops and markets a commercial off-the-shelf laboratory information management system (Lims) that has been deployed in hundreds of organizations around the world.
Leveraging the EMC Documentum enterprise content management (ECM) platform, Starlims version 10 users can now manage data from Lims and other enterprise systems from within a single repository.
"Starlims now brings the gold standard in enterprise content management into Lims," said Itschak Friedman, chief executive officer at Starlims.
"We are excited to complete the first step on the product roadmap we announced in July 2006, by creating a Lims that offers management of both structured and unstructured data within a single repository".
Friedman noted that "Analysts and customers alike are asking for solutions that consolidate various types of data - minimising the inefficiencies of alternating between multiple data repositories.
"That is precisely what we have achieved by integrating our Starlims 10 application with EMC's Documentum platform".
"Following this accreditation we will move forward in our plan to integrate full SDMS (scientific data management system) and ELN (electronic laboratory notebook) functionalities into our entirely web-based Lims, so customers can use a single end-to-end platform to create, capture, manage, share and archive scientific data," added Friedman.
"EMC's position as the leader in enterprise content management is strengthened by the support of great partners such as Starlims," said Randy Ziegler, director of developer programmes at EMC.
"The accreditation programme is another way EMC earns that trust while supporting innovative offerings like Starlims".
Starlims version 10 received design accreditation by meeting high standards for application design, development, configuration, installation processes and overall quality.
As a member of the Designed for EMC programme, Starlims received specialised design consultation and guidance, along with access to dedicated EMC content management technical resources.
The company will also be able to include specialised 'Designed for EMC Documentum' logos on packaging, marketing collateral, and other promotional materials pertaining to their accredited offering, signifying to customers that the Starlims version 10 software meets high standards for architectural compliance with the Documentum architecture and leverages development best practices.
