LIMS Launchpad Webinar Series - Episode #4 – The Vendor Interaction

The LIMS Launchpad Series offers a professionally curated, step-by-step roadmap to help laboratories of all types make informed, strategic decisions when evaluating and purchasing a LIMS. Episode #4: The Vendor Interaction:  Gain invaluable insights into effectively interacting with LIMS vendors. This session will guide you through essential topics such as how to be thoroughly prepared for system demonstrations and understanding if a Request for Information (RFI) or Request for Proposal (RFP) is needed.

We’ll cover the importance of identifying the number of users, key integration needs, and specific security requirements relevant to your lab. In addition, the webinar will address understanding the quoting process, project management best practices, delineate laboratory and vendor responsibilities, and outline what to expect from an implementation schedule and training requirements.

Finally, we’ll clarify the definition of "go-live"—the point at which your LIMS is fully implemented, validated, and adopted as the primary system for managing your laboratory’s data and workflows.

Whether you’re just starting your LIMS journey or preparing for vendor discussions, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the process with confidence.

 

Join us Thursday, October 23 at 1 PM ET as our industry experts equip you with the insights and strategies needed to effectively engage with LIMS vendors.
