Better Systems Lead to Better Science, Better Science Leads to Successful Programs...

Technology Planning: Chess players know that planning their moves is essential to a winning strategy. The further ahead you can look, the better your chances of coming out on top.

The successful use of automation and computing technologies in laboratory applications requires planning. The more thorough the planning, the more likely the money spent on the purchase of products and services is going to advance your programs.

Our technology planning methodology covers immediate needs, the potential for integration with other systems, product and data life cycle management, and avoids the potential for having to re-invest resources into projects you thought were completed. It is a long-term view of how you want your labs to operate internally, how they need to work with other groups, and how to get from where you are to where you want to be.

Our methodology is based on two points:

• defining the policies and practices that are the basis of successful projects: validation, project management, process management and process integration, working with IT groups, product and data life cycle planning, technology evaluation, etc.
  
  
• examining and modeling the processes used in laboratory work, and, the interaction between internal lab processes and those of other groups and organizations.

Taken together, those points provide a solid foundation for developing successful laboratory automation and computing programs.

We provide consulting, advisory, and educational programs to assist companies in their work. Our courses include of both public offerings and on-site programs.
