The goal of SciCord’s integration service is to integrate existing information solutions and enable efficient data processes across the organization. SciCord works with your team to catalog your laboratory systems and to understand the underlying work processes. A custom solution is crafted to integrate “best in class” applications cohesively and obtain maximum benefit from your existing investments.
Obstacles of System Integration
SciCord understands the obstacles of Systems Integration and is able to create an integrated Total Lab Informatics Ecosystem. Integrating systems takes quite a bit of know-how in connecting databases using SQL queries or by other means, and unless laboratory personnel has a large amount of IT knowledge or an IT staff with time available, this can be a daunting task. Aside from merely connecting, then IT personnel will need to get the multiple systems to interact with one another, exchanging data and mapping it to the correct locations.
SciCord possesses the knowledge required for Systems Integration and can take the place of an IT department without the bandwidth to complete such tasks. SciCord understands the various systems within a laboratory and is capable of connecting them and having them interact with one another. SciCord is able to achieve this through collaborative evaluation of the current state of all lab informatics systems – applications, information systems, instruments, etc.; and utilizing their extensive experience fitting individual systems together to support the customer’s business objectives.
Systems to Consider Integrating
The Benefits of Lab Systems Integration
Integrating laboratory systems provides maximum automation while retaining control over the laboratory processes. It also streamlines the lab by:
Laboratory Systems Integration is not an easy process, often requiring significant resource investment. In addition, some software vendors may not have built their product with integration in mind, and may present roadblocks a traditional IT integration team struggles to overcome.
SciCord understands this difficulty and removes the burden from the customer. To facilitate the integration process, SciCord provides a “Pilot Program”. The “Pilot” is scoped to demonstrate the benefits of a comprehensive solution and provide the roadmap for a long term partnership.
