04/03/2013 - Reduce costs and increase revenue!

The Lab Portal Company’s product Lab-Connector enables laboratories to add new sales channels by giving your provider network the ability to order online, through a secure online portal. Order automation reduces redundant data entry, and increases accuracy of your reports and reduces your turnaround time. With Lab-Connector’s shopping cart module, you can sell directly to consumers or providers and receive payment immediately, while increasing data accuracy. If you can increase your revenue, reduce your turnaround time, reduce IT costs, while generating reports in HTML/PDF/HL7 that your providers and patients love wouldn’t you be interested?

Interview with organization that built its own sample tracking system.

One option for a science company with unmet data management needs is to simply build a software solution from scratch. You might think that this would be strictly the domain of large well-resourced organizations, but even for a small business or startup this can be a possibility that can yield unexpected benefits. There are still places in the US where a lower cost of living means that software developers are not as expensive as they are in silicon valley, and with patience, persistence and a bit of luck, business owners can indeed find highly talented local individuals who can create a great solution even in the least "techie" of locales. In the following interview, I talk with key players at a small midwestern biotechnology company who needed a better way to manage their extensive collection of biospecimens. The company prefers to stay somewhat anonymous, so I have used pseudonyms; "The Biorepository" is the name of the business, "PM" is the primary project manager and biorepository specialist who helped with research and design, "Dev" is the software developer who made it all possible and "Tissue Database" or just "TDB" is the name of the solution itself. "Bob", is of course, yours truly, the author of this blog.
