ATL Webcast: The Needs Assessment – First Step to a Successful LIMS Deployment

Accelerated Technology Laboratories, Inc. (ATL) will host an informational webcast on July 28, 2010 on the topic of Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).  This webcast is entitled The Needs Assessment –  First Step to a Successful LIMS Deployment.  This event is ideal for laboratory or QA/QC managers in the environmental, food & beverage, energy, manufacturing (product/material testing), agriculture, life science, biotechnology and public health sectors.
 
As part of the ATL Webcast Series we wanted to focus on one of the critical phases of a LIMS implementation project – the needs assessment.  The needs assessment is a valuable tool that, if executed correctly, can provide the laboratory with the business justification, LIMS requirements and a step-by-step roadmap to selecting and implementing a LIMS.  A needs assessment should also provide an accurate understanding of the current state of the laboratory, define the ideal future state and provide a detailed list of the possible risks and issues associated with the LIMS project.
 
During this webcast we will cover the following:

• Define the needs assessment and when it is appropriate to conduct one

• Breakdown the needs assessment in phases and focus on the key tasks that take place during each phase

• The LIMS needs assessment as a roadmap to LIMS success

• How to use the LIMS needs assessment to save the laboratory money

• Needs Assessment Case Study – on the webcast agenda we will have an ATL customer talk about the value of a LIMS needs assessment and why they would recommend that it be a core part of any LIMS implementation project
