Introduction

One by one the Applications of theLAB fell to the power of the Ring. Butsome who resisted, a last alliance ofLab Analysts, Researchers andProduct Vendors, fought for thefreedom of the LAB. But the power ofthe Ring could not be undone. Thepromises of reduced TCO and OneRing for all, corrupted the will of men.

The Resistance – New Alliances

The Resistance – New Alliances

While traditional LIMS was good at

sample and result management it

wasn’t so good at handling manual

operations.

Along came LES, ELN, SDMS

…an integrated platform

The Power of the Lab was increasing too

The Resistance – New Alliances

The realization that linking the whole

process from Research to Development

to Manufacturing - provided significant

cost and productivity gains and

energized the resistance.

The Resistance – New Alliances

With these new alliances,

the people of the LAB Finally awoke –

united and determined to continue the battle

Darkness

The eye of the Sauron is watching down

on all labs where SAP is used

corporately. Sauron has instructed his

wraiths to ensure that all LABS shall use

the power of the one ring. Fear is

spreading in these labs where

sophisticated informatics systems are

under the threat of replacement with

something much less than they currently

have. The storm clouds are forming and

Mt. Doom is increasingly visible on the

horizon.

But wait…

Light

…maybe the resistance is

itself, delusional?

…maybe Sauron and the

Power of the One ring is the

light?

IntroductionConclusion

One Ring to rule them all,

One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all

And in the darkness bind them

IntroductionConclusion

One Ring to rule them all,Yes, the enterprise must have visibility to pertinent LAB data

One Ring to find them,And yes, the enterprise must identify the systems that contain the

pertinent lab data (is raw data pertinent?)

One Ring to bring them all

And in the darkness bind themBut, does BIND mean assimilate or integrate? We all know what

Sauron believes….
