Autoscribe have announced a 55 per cent growth in UK orders for their Matrix LIMS and related software systems in the first half of the 2008 financial year, compared to the same period of 2007.
Matrix systems and licence upgrades business has increased by 42.6 per cent, while support including training has increased by 77.1 per cent.
This growth can be partially attributed to increased efforts in promotional activities, including reworking of the website, resulting in greater awareness of Autoscribe and its software products.
The technology of web and Windows desktop client operation, with one-time configuration of screens and menus, as available with the Matrix Gemini LIMS, is also beginning to make an impact.
The sales team has been strengthened, with more effective follow-up of enquiries and more efforts to present relevant system configurations to potential customers.
Three more personnel have been recruited to our Technical Services team to ensure that systems can still be delivered on time.
'The order pipeline looks strong for both UK and overseas business for the next 6 months so I am looking forward to continued growth during the second half of our financial year,' says John Boother, managing director of Autoscribe.
