Technology Selection

We provide independent advice and support to help you choose the right technology to support your business, including:

• Business analysis and process mapping
• Defining and prioritizing user requirements
• Developing a robust, tangible business case for technology investment
• Supporting the technology and vendor selection process

Technology selection starts with documenting detailed requirements linked to business use cases. Using our proprietary database of lab informatics technologies, we compile an initial list of those candidates with the best match to the requirements and coordinate initial demonstrations. The most promising suppliers are shortlisted to proceed to a Request for Proposal and in-depth, use-case driven, workshops to identify the preferred solution. We help you develop a tangible, quantifiable Return on Investment (ROI) analysis which forms the basis of a robust business case.

On-going Support

The evolution and maturation of your science and operations does not stop once your research platform is implemented.
