The Buy vs. Build Decision: Decision factors in implementing a Laboratory Information and Data management solution

The value of a lab information management system (LIMS) in the systems biology laboratory is clear: improving data management efficiency provides greater reproducibility of research results, minimizes the error introduced into workflow, increases the productivity of laboratory instrumentation, and enables greater user productivity. This White Paper by GenoLogics Life Sciences Software Inc. outlines the key factors to be considered when implementing a LIMS system, with consideration to the overall costs and benefits associated with buying a commercial LIMS system versus building a system in-house. It serves to address the key issues and considerations that must be taken into account when deciding whether to buy an off-the-shelf LIMS from a commercial vendor, or build a LIMS in-house.
