This client is a world leader in testing, inspection, and certification services for several manufacturing and process industries. They were using Oracle for a database and transitioning to SQL Server in tandem with a LabWare LIMS upgrade. The client had a heavily customized interpretation module as part of their previous version and needed support from LIMS experts to navigate the upgrade. Clarkston Consulting was able to complete a full code review, make required updates, and complete testing efforts to deliver a like for like LabWare 8 ready customized module.
The client engaged Clarkston to ensure that all current configuration, master data objects, and sample records could be migrated and leveraged as the client transitioned to LabWare 8. Clarkston organized the results of a v6 to LabWare 8assessment and developed a plan for remediation. Clarkston performed technical reviews and configuration changes of the application and relevant master data objects – analyses, sample login templates, etc. – to ensure a seamless transition to LabWare 8 and SQL Server.
As a result of the engagement, all obsolete code was removed for improved system efficiency and data syntax was updated for the client’s custom module to be functional in LabWare 8. Additionally, Clarkston provided code commenting where previously missing to ensure alignment with best practices. Further, all data was converted, migrated, and ready for the business to conduct user acceptance testing (UAT). The client was able to successfully execute UAT with minimal to no process bugs when deployed to the production environment. Thanks to Clarkston’s support, the client also experienced success with the customized functionality required for key business functions, enabling them to get the most out of their system.
