LabLynx launches the new webLiMS.com, Laboratory SaaS Provider

March 3, 2009 - PRLog -- LabLynx Inc., the leader in laboratory informatics solutions and services, launched the new webLIMS.com today, a new division centered on web-hosted LIMS (Laboratory Information
Management System) and other laboratory Informatics and business software. Information can be found at http://www.weblims.com.

WebLIMS.com was first introduced by LabLynx on January 30, 1998 as an Application Service Provider (ASP). Today, the new webLIMS.com is being re-introduced as a Laboratory Informatics SaaS offering built on virtualization and Web 2.0 technology with a wide choice of LIMS, Scientific and Business applications, along with a hosted suite of developer tools for the expansion of the webLIMS application ecosystem. The new division uses the latest virtualization technology and today’s SAS70  Type II audited, ultra-safe and fully redundant data center facilities to offer  a wide range of informatics functions to labs anywhere in the world for a  fraction of traditional costs.

WORLD LEADER IN SAAS FOR LABORATORIES
THE LABLYNX WEBLIMS division propels LabLynx into the role of the largest SaaS (Software as a Service) provider for laboratories in the world. No other Laboratory Software provider has as many hosted applications available as webLIMS and with our rapidly growing customer base, webLIMS is positioned to far exceed all other Laboratory SaaS providers that only offer one or two products to their customers. webLIMS.com currently offers over 35 hosted Laboratory Informatics and business applications. LabLynx was the first commercial LIMS company to offer a pure web browser based LIMS in 1997 at Pittcon and was the first to offer the LabLynx LIMS as the first generation of webLIMS in 1998. Today’s division launch marks  the introduction of the SaaS model, which allows for notably significant  reduction in user costs while providing a wide range of selectable, modular  functions suitable for every lab, regardless of size or type.

NEW MODEL RESETS PRICING, FUNCTION, DEPLOYMENT EXPECTATIONS
The monthly subscription model allows even  start-up labs to become operational quickly with nominal initial outlay. The cost  structure is designed so that, even over the long term, webLIMS proves to be significantly more cost-effective than traditional systems implemented onsite.

The hosted webLIMS model also means users now have access to a plethora of  applications in addition to a LIMS (or indeed instead of), including CRM, ERP, Help Desk, Time Tracking, Accounting and many others, plus developer tools allowing users to modify their software and build new applications.

IN STEP WITH TECHNOLOGY GIANTS
Committed to leveraging the latest technology to supply maximum functionality at minimum investment, LabLynx early on identified the Internet as the key to ways of doing business in the future. This approach has proved valid as recent moves by such giants as Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, Google and Yahoo have been in the direction of SaaS.

The advent of the Internet means that as “pipes” or access routes have  improved in capability, the ability to shift processor power and storage from user-based pc to massive data centers with dedicated redundancy, generators and data security measures has become a reality. Today, more and more, the only capability a user needs is the ability to access the Internet. All computing can be done through web-based applications using resources far surpassing a user’s ability to provide by replacing their home or business computer every year or so.

ABOUT LABLYNX
