"The difficulties historically associated with migration are virtually eliminated by the six-step Migration Agent process," said David Champagne, vice president and general manager of Thermo Electron's Informatics business.
"We are confident we'll be able to define the timeframes and costs associated with a migration, enabling our customers to exploit the latest that informatics has to offer in terms of productivity, process harmonization and standardization".
Migration Agent can successfully move users from any Lims to a Thermo Lims, such as SampleManager for the petrochemical, chemical, food and beverage, and other process industries, or to Darwin, Thermo's newest commercial-off-the-shelf Lims for pharmaceutical QA/QC.
In addition to the proven ETL tool for low-risk, low-disruption migrations, customers using Migration Agent work with a dedicated tactical team from Thermo's extensive global services group in implementing the defined migration process.
This process improves involvement and communication while defining roles, responsibilities, schedules and deliverables for a smooth migration. Request a free brochure from Thermo Fisher Scientific Informatics ...
