NNIT A/S and LabVantage Solutions, Inc. have established a partnership to bring industry and implementation expertise together with a laboratory information management suite.
The partnership between LabVantage and NNIT covers life sciences organizations in Germany, Austria, and German-speaking regions of Switzerland and Luxembourg.
Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) support vital business processes in the life sciences industry, from research and development to formulations and manufacturing.
LIMS is a vital part of NNIT’s services. Philip Skou, Vice President of NNIT Switzerland, explains, "After a decade of working with a broad range of LIMS for many customers, we’re seeing the LIMS market change."
"Customers want a LIMS package from a company dedicated to software development, that invests in leading functionality and uses a modern thin-client architecture."
"Research-based companies are moving away from local, disconnected LIMS installations towards integrated, enterprisewide LIMS. That’s what LabVantage’s Sapphire LIMS provides."
NNIT has significant experience with LabVantage’s Sapphire and enterprise implementations in the pharmaceutical industry.
This includes multiple time zones, multilingual support, and integration to ERP, MES and Scientific Data Management Systems (SDMS).
With over 30 LIMS consultants, NNIT has provided customers with LIMS consulting, project management, change management, integration, validation, installation and operational support services.
In addition to LabVantage’s Sapphire, NNIT is experienced with complementary products, such as Labtronic’s LimsLink for instrument integration and Business Objects for advanced reporting.
LabVantage became aware of NNIT through several major LabVantage implementation projects.
According to Jim Aurelio, LabVantage’s President & CEO, "NNIT is a perfect match for providing the central European market with the combination of leading software and services, and for supporting our rapid expansion in the global LIMS market."
Mr. Skou says, "In our implementation projects we have found that LabVantage’s Sapphire offers more out-of-the-box functionality for managing samples, inventories and experiments - and more configuration flexibility than many other products."
"The user acceptance has been really high. And both QA and our developers are enthusiastic about the configuration environment."
"Workflows can be changed without coding, web components can be easily reused, integration with instruments and enterprise systems is easier, and compliance functions are built in."
Mr. Aurelio adds, "With over 900 employees, NNIT has an unmatched concentration of professionals who understand the needs of the pharmaceutical industry."
"NNIT offers strong project and quality methodologies for LIMS implementations and provides a great breadth of services to support our customers in the region."
