OnQ Press Release: QLIMS Rapid Data Migration via ZIFO RnD’s qcKen Platform

OnQ Software Press Release

QLIMS Rapid Data Migration via ZIFO RnD’s qcKen Platform

For Immediate Release

Melbourne, Australia July 2021 – OnQ Software announced today that QLIMS will be integrated to ZIFO RnD’s qcKen solution for rapid data migration.

qcKen is a data migration service offered by ZIFO Rnd and OnQ Software is proud to be one the LIMS vendors who can now offer this service to it’s customers. Offering the solution to both new LIMS customers as well as customers with legacy commercial LIMS solutions is a unique proposition as data migration is cited as a major blocker for laboratories. Due to QLIMS modern architecture the integration with qcKen will operate very smoothly and efficiently through the mature API.

QLIMS delivered a built in data upload wizard allowing upload and mapping from csv and JSON files, but the benefits provided by qcKen are:

ability to import, screen and check very large volumes of data
migrate data from hand written documents
migrate directly from other LIMS databases

Combined with QLIMS focus on configuration over customisation and product over project based implementation approach customers can implement faster and achieve return on investment sooner.

Existing case studies show qcKen able to reduce migrations from 40 days to only 2.The service focuses on helping customers set up master during LIMS implementation/migrations and maintaining master data on an ongoing basis. The solution can ingest data directly from any source documents like Certificate Of Analysis, Analysis Reports, Product Specifications, Worksheets, General Test Procedures and Standard Operating Procedures. By reading pdf, word and excel documents to generate an RPA specification, analysts can easily review and correct anomalies as required. The service uses machine learning to continually learn and improve the conversion asccuracy, and once the RPA is approved by the analyst, qcKen’s Object Creation Engine takes over and creates objects in the target LIMS, in this case QLIMS.

This hyper-automation solution is aimed at customers realizing hopes of moving from the paper world to LIMS as planned. qcKen can also help Analysts focus on performing analysis rather than worrying about setting up master data.

“This integration is in line with our core philosophy of empowering scientists and scientific work by reducing administrative tasks.” says Jonathan Gannoulis, General Manager at OnQ. “This opportunity to work with ZIFO allows our customers to implement even faster and removes a key blocker which many new customers and also those using legacy LIMS systems face when wanting to update to a modern solution.”

OnQ Press Release: CSols to co-operate with OnQ Software

OnQ Software Press Release

CSols to co-operate with OnQ Software

For Immediate Release

Melbourne, Australia December 14th 2020 – OnQ Software announced today that it has signed a co-operation agreement with CSols Software of Runcorn, UK. The co-operation will focus on creating a bidirectional integration between the CSols Links for LIMS and AqcTools software, and OnQ Software’s QLIMS system.

Links for LIMS is a powerful integration software tool that can provide a uni- or bi-directional link between analysers or instruments of any type and LIS/LIMS systems. Offering both electronic instrument setup/loading as well as detailed result review before LIMS upload, Links for LIMS uniquely gives laboratories true ‘transcription free’ operation for complete data integrity. Coupled with the ability to apply calculations, QC checking and configurable flagging to verify result quality before formally reporting all of the results, Links for LIMS is becoming a key component of laboratory workflows around the world. The co-operation with OnQ will include making use of its REST API web services integration tool, in order to create a new QLIMS ‘driver’. So that existing and prospective QLIMS customers can also enjoy bidirectional integration for their instruments, whether QLIMS is implemented in an ‘on premise’ or in a ‘cloud’ configuration.
“We believe that Links for LIMS with bidirectional integration with QLIMS will quickly bring its customer’s significant improvements in both productivity and quality,” notes Dr. Phil Goddard CEO of CSols. “Often our Links for LIMS customers are able to make saving of up to 90% of the time spent on the administration effort around testing, and once you look more closely at the potential impact on the reductions in re-sampling and re-testing that are possible, integration can provide very substantial savings to any organization”, he adds.
“Tight instrument integration should be at the heart of all LIMS installations in order to fully complement the capabilities of QLIMS” says Jonathan Gannoulis, Business Development Manager at OnQ. “This opportunity to work with CSols and create a bidirectional link will quickly provide our customers with a range of new workflow improvements with little disruption to QLIMS operation.”

Why a LIMS implementation must use a product approach instead of a project one.

LIMS implementations are often under discussion and get deemed as long term expensive projects with high costs.

But why are these implementations so expensive?

Do they really have to take many months or years of time?

Can we still call it a product if it needs so many additional services?

We’ll explain why they don’t need to be so.

It starts with the LIMS Product.

The laboratory is a complicated part of many companies and institutes and therefore lab informatics and LIMS are treated as complex items. This is in a lot of cases the wrong starting point. Lab informatics should be there to help your staff and management teams to simplify that complexity, not to add another next level to it.

QLIMS from OnQ Software is designed to take this burden away and focus on the benefit of lab informatics.

Less admin, more science.

A unique user interface which has the ability for lab personnel or LIMS admins to design their own dashboards, modify pages, and workflows all in a simple interface reducing the need for clicking around. With cloud as the future, it also takes the burden away of servers, infrastructure, and reduces security risk.

Large Lab Informatics companies have a project-based organisation.

There is a difference in Lab Informatics companies. The majority of the larger providers implement a LIMS as a project with project managers, business consultants and technical people. A full team is needed to implement your LIMS. An implementation takes months if not years. It’s their business model. Did you ever realise how you can maintain this system with your staff if the vendor needs a full team for the implementation? Do we not miss the purpose of Lab Informatics to streamline data in a manageable way by a manageable system?

Then when it comes to scale your business or add new tests the process and costs start again.

Conclusion

begin your LIMS implementation with a product

OnQ Software believes strongly that companies should benefit from Lab Informatics as a product and not a project. QLIMS packages can be implemented, then after the initial installation training is delivered by the ‘train the trainer’ principle. ‘Not in months, but in weeks and in case of the SaaS-model, in days there can be a system to start using! And yes… OnQ Software and its partners are available to support you.

Just check your offer from your LIMS vendor and compare the price of the software with the price of the implementation….Interested in an alternative?

SaaS in the laboratory- Special Times ask for Special Solutions

With the restrictions caused by COVID-19 , the way we work and organise our family lives has changed. We keep social distance, plan our outdoors activities to meet local regulations and we work as much as possible from home.

Laboratories are no exceptions, but in practice difficult to structure for remote working.

There is a need for tools to help the lab personnel to, partly, work remotely and at the same time to maintain the expected level of accuracy and quality in secure environment.

Lab work can’t be moved out of the lab, but the administration can.

OnQ software address this need with QLIMS. Being available as a true SaaS LIMS, combined with an unique set of functionality for remote working, the lab is effectively extended to home offices.

This functionality includes:

Direct access to all samples, results and other lab activities
Preparation of laboratory work.
Validation, approval and reporting activities. Management and operational.
Reviewing non-conformance.

SaaS solutions provide a secure way of remote working without the burden of installing software. It brings your workspace at home.

Our LIMS, QLIMS can operate without the boundaries of a lab thus making it possible for laboratories to move these activities to remote offices.

lab work from home

On top of this flexibility, our SaaS LIMS gives additional benefits like:

Security – data encryption and 2FA authentication
Always using the latest version of the software
Decrease internal resources, increased productivity
One contact for all Support issues
High scalability and performance
Fast deployment, life within a few days

“As a trained analytical chemist I worked in a Chemical / Environmental laboratory for 12 years. The last 5 years I was implementing LIMS systems and was the LIMS Admin as well.

In 1999, I moved into the LIMS industry and changed my lab coat for a business suit, starting my first commercial role.

Working for several LIMS and scientific software companies, in different industries, roles and countries since, I bring a lot of experience within the LIMS industry.

Sales, business development, partner management, presentations, demos, implementations and training are just an indication of what has kept me busy in the last 21 years.
