"The quality control systems on other Lims systems are passive in nature. This means that users do not realise there has been a problem until after all the results have been entered"
This new product is called Equal.
Initially the underlying (Progress) database was not replaced, thus easing the development, transition and implementation.
However, LabPro 2000 is now able to support alternative databases, and is currently offering Microsoft's SQL Server, My SQL and Oracle.
As part of the Equal development program, it has replaced (and enhanced) all of the LabPro programs, it says.
The reports and sample registration can now be scheduled to run automatically (hourly, weekly, monthly, etc) and can (where appropriate) be selectively output to the screen, a specific printer, sent to (multiple) email addresses, or imported into a spreadsheet.
Equal has been designed to run in a Windows browser environment - initially using Internet Explorer (IE).
Equal uses a desktop PC without the requirement for third party software (other than IE) connected to a web server and a database server (can be separate or common hardware boxes).
At the same time the company points to its database independence, since it is utilising state of the art methodologies (Java, JSP and JDBC).
This means that the RDBMS can be that of the customer's preference; Oracle, Progress, Sybase, SQL Server, My SQL, etc.
