Implementation

Implementation is focused on getting the most out of SENAITE, but fully aligned with your lab requirements, with no limits

SENAITE is based on a modular design and therefore, it can be extended easily. The implementation of an additional extension containing lab's custom functionalities is enough to have a system tailored to lab needs and fully compatible with the product's new releases and updates.

For whom is this product intended?

For organizations willing to replace their existing LIMS or to set up a new LIMS in a planned manner to suit their specific needs, integrate with other enterprise software and with custom-made functionalities.

 

Software Development Agreement (SDA)

Stepped implementation through an SDA to implement your LIMS in a scheduled manner.

What's included

  • SENAITE LIMS / Health
  • P-System and QA-System
  • Agile methodology
  • Knowledge transfer and Capacity building
  • Fluent communication
  • Monthly reports
 

How does it work?

4 Steps to succeed in your LIMS implementation:

1. High level overview meeting

Initial meeting for a high level overview of your current situation, to know your expectations and your organization processes.

2. GAP Analysis and project plan

Specific requirements gathering and their evaluation in order to know how much SENAITE covers the requirements of your organization.

The result of this analysis is an implementation plan divided in milestones based on discussions and feedback we had with your team.

This document will be the guideline for the project execution and control, stating communication tools, scope, costs and schedule.

3. Implementation

The first step is the deployment of two instances: Q-System (pilot environment) and P-System (production environment). Having both instances at the beginning allows the laboratory to have a working system, making it easier for the lab-personnel to familiarize themselves with the LIMS. This also makes the transition to the new system to be easier.

We work following the Agile methodology principles and SCRUM having constant feedback from the laboratory and regular deliveries.

Each increment is deployed into the pilot instance and, after approval from lab-personnel, we deploy the increment into production. This methodology guarantees that new functionalities and customizations will be gradually available and ready-to-use from earlier stages.

Knowledge transfer and Capacity building for organizations willing internalize the costs of maintenance and customizations of their own LIMS. Introduction to system architecture and application stack, system maintenance, backups and custom-made development.

4. Post-implementation support

Preventive & Corrective Support to keep your LIMS up-to-date and compatible with the latest versions. We include System monitoring, LIMS updates, security updates and advice for preventive and corrective actions.
