Open source product allows end-users, consultants, value added resellers and integrators, to build custom Lims solutions that are geared to the exact operational needs of many different laboratories
LabLynx has introduced a new product line called openLims, which it says will allow companies to build their own Lims.
This open source system allows for custom Lims development while maintaining an upgrade path for the product built on the LabLynx informatics server.
The openLims product complements a growing family of informatics products from LabLynx.
All of the informatics products, including openLims, are built upon the LabLynx informatics server product.
The openLims product will allow end-users, consultants, value added resellers and integrators, to build custom Lims solutions that are geared to the exact operational needs of many different laboratories. OpenLims is not meant to replace the current line of Lims products from LabLynx but to provide a product that can fill a niche market need for customers who want a commercial grade application but would also like to fully customise it for their own specific needs.
OpenLims also fills the market need for consultants and integrators who wish to provide their own Lims offering to their customers with their own domain knowledge being added to the openLims product solution.
This allows third parties to develop their own value added products as a seamless integration with openLims that can be resold to customers for very specific industry solutions or for broad range use.
This approach provides the opportunity to greatly enhance the number of Lims products that can be offered by a wide variety of solution providers.
The application is entirely web browser based and requires no software to be installed on the client workstation beyond a web browser.
The application itself is installed on Windows Server on a Lan for access by those individuals granted appropriate rights to do so.
The application comes with full security and audit trail features that allow for 21CFR11 compliance.
OpenLIMS is priced on a per server, per concurrent user basis.
Pricing for the product is US$20,000 for the openLims server product and comes with five concurrent users. Each additional five pack of concurrent users is $5000.
