Situation
A generic and branded pharmaceutical manufacturer planned to transition away from paper record-keeping and a very old legacy LIMS, used for sample tracking only. In addition to manufacturing their own products, the client provides rapid contract testing and long-term stability testing for other pharmaceutical companies. The new LIMS is needed to accommodate the rapid growth that the client has experienced, support their quality operations, and position the client for long-term growth.
Due to internal resource constraints, the client chose to work with CSols based on our expertise in helping companies select the best LIMS product for their business. The client needed to follow a rigorous, well-defined process to ensure the selection of the most appropriate LIMS for their labs and workflows.
CSols was known to the client as a company that could take on and drive the client’s unbiased selection of the right LIMS product for their business. CSols Inc. was selected to perform a strategic laboratory information management system (LIMS) selection and was also tasked with writing supporting documentation such as a strategic roadmap on how and when to deploy the selected LabVantage LIMS. The client chose CSols to meet the objectives defined for selecting a LIMS that will operate in a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-regulated industry.
