“Te demand for integration has been a technology driver behind a number of merger and acquisition activities in the informatics market during the past couple of years”
It seems that one of the unfortunate
consequences of the lack of industry standards is that there is the risk that too many disparate efforts to solve the problem may leave us with too many standards. However, another way in which we may find the integration issues to be solved is through the evolution of generic technology standards. Advances in consumer information technologies have a strong focus on communication, sharing and collaboration – three criteria that are essential to integration in laboratories. In the consumer world, the internet is the platform and the World Wide Web Consortium manages the standards that facilitate satisfying these criteria. Te progressive adoption of web technologies for laboratory informatics may well enhance the possibilities of achieving greater levels of integration.

and it is oſten the case that most problems come from people who don’t volunteer for the committee. By definition, the members
of the team are more committed to the success of the project than those who are not directly involved. In their deliberations, project teams oſten develop a concept of a solution which is much more sophisticated than might be needed or indeed is economically justifiable. Typically the ‘requirements
gathering’ phase involves harvesting needs, wants and ideas from the potential user community and then engaging in a prioritisation exercise to reduce the list to a specific set of requirements that form the basis of a request for proposal (RPF) that can then be presented to vendors. It is important that the
business requirements are fully clarified; this ensures that the scope of the project is defined and can therefore help exclude some of the more exotic ‘needs’ that might arise. Any single item on the requirements list should justify itself not only financially, but also in terms of its usefulness and ease of use. Anecdotal experience
suggests that some requirements’ specifications could be shrunk by between 25 and 50 per cent by the removal of ‘wish list’ items, bringing cost savings and a lower cost of ownership, as well as easier user adoption. It’s important for the project team and sponsors to be able to define what business problem the ELN will solve and to ensure that user requirements are kept simple and focused on solving the problem.
