LIMS offered with subscription
Quality Systems International (QSI), who was the first provider to offer full functionality LIMS "out of the box", is now offering a subscription payment option.
The high initial cost of a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) has been a barrier to the adoption of this technology in many smaller laboratories and manufacturing companies However the measurable quality improvement benefits of LIMS - reducing errors, saving time and improving efficiency - are just as important to such organisations

A laboratory information management system can effectively close the loop between laboratory testing and production control and even inventory control and purchasing.
Although LIMS systems have traditionally been found in laboratories, the same benefits will accrue in any manufacturing quality regime that involves testing and the recording of test data.
Quality Systems International (QSI), who was the first provider to offer full functionality LIMS "out of the box", is now offering a subscription payment option that will enable establishments with limited budgets to enjoy the benefits of LIMS for under £400 a month.
This monthly fee covers software licences, installation, training, technical support and any software enhancements for the term of the contract, and at the end of the term the system is fully owned.
Although particularly attractive to those with limited budgets, the new scheme will have many attractions for larger users - less impact on cash flows and the capital budget, low entry costs and guaranteed upgrades.
This financial solution preserves existing lines of credit, and the subscriptions are fully tax-deductible.
Going down the subscription route in no way compromises the performance of the system, indeed the WinLIMS "out of the box" package is very comprehensive, offering functionality not provided by other vendors, like Document Control and Health and Safety procedures.
Also included is a secure online reporting module powered by Business Objects Enterprise II and Crystal II, technology licensed at an attractive price through an OEM agreement exclusive to WinLIMS.
