 Scalable
LIMS Platform Precisely Suits Any
Lab
Deployment
Based on twenty years of LIMS-only
development, STARLIMS provides hundreds of ready-made rules
and wizards for rapid deployment of common business
processes. Nevertheless, each lab has individual
requirements—and each STARLIMS application requires its own
configuration, validation and testing cycle.
Implementation is a site-specific
process, involving several iterations between the client and
the STARLIMS professional services team. Issues typically
addressed include: Modifications to existing test workflows,
instrument interfacing for automated run scheduling and data
collection, site-specific reporting, and interfacing LIMS
with internal or external business systems and applications.
The STARLIMS professional services team
follows industry best practices, as defined by the Project
Management Institute’s ‘Project Management Body of
Knowledge’ (PMBOK 2000) and the ISPE’s Good Automated
Manufacturing Process (GAMP4) guide for validation of
automated systems.
STARLIMS has built a reputation not only
for providing first-time LIMS users with successful
implementations, but also for straightforward conversions
and migrations from legacy LIMS systems.
 Scalable LIMS Project Definition
The project definition phase involves a
kickoff meeting to define project goals, objectives and
staffing requirements. The STARLIMS professional services
team prepares detailed documents to define the project scope
(Statement of Work, Project Plan and Work Breakdown
Schedule).
STARLIMS is entirely committed to quality
processes. The company holds ISO 9001:2000 certification,
reflecting our continuing efforts to offer
laboratory
information management systems that consistently exceed our
customers’ expectations.
Iterative Scalable LIMS
Development
In each phase of the project, STARLIMS
 |
Gathers end-user requirements and
develops a detailed User Requirements Specification; |
|
|
Develops a detailed Functional
Specification that shows how the application will meet
end-user requirements; |
|
|
Establishes a test plan and a
documented Factory Acceptance Test; |
|
|
Assists the customer to develop a
site-specific Site Acceptance Test to ensure the
application is working correctly onsite; and |
|
|
Develops a Traceability Matrix that
will trace requirements through functional specification
to testing. This development cycle is repeated at each
phase, depending on the scope of the application. |

Once the project is completed, a wrap-up
meeting is conducted to review the project and to evaluate
its success in meeting all goals and objectives.
