Part 1 covered the STARLIMS Cloud Solution and Flexibility of Managed Service Offerings. Part 2 discussed Infrastructure & Security and Fully Managed Services. Part 3 will address Synergy for Organizations.

Synergy for Organizations

Organizational synergy is one of the benefits of customers using Abbott Informatics Cloud Services. This occurs because hosting services are also provided by the company that invented and developed STARLIMS. As time passes, the best practices and customer recommendations accumulated promotes greater operational efficiency and stronger security for the entire STARLIMS ecosystem.  

In close cooperation with R&D, Abbott Cloud Services staff members have decreased infrastructure usage by more than 15% through application efficiencies, which include database query optimization. In addition, database administration, working with R&D and Professional Services, has been able to deliver a high-performance production service to customers, who did not have to bear added costs for performance tuning.

Running STARLIMS exclusively in its infrastructure, Abbott Informatics Cloud Services staff members can discover efficiencies in various areas, which they then share with customers. To illustrate, the patching process was revamped, decreasing downtime from a few hours to only minutes.

The cooperation between the STARLIMS and Cloud Services teams has resulted in the optimization of architecture design and economies of scale, providing a higher level of performance in a cost-effective way that benefited customers.

Organizations that selected STARLIMS to meet the demands of their laboratories will be working with an established and proven partner in Abbott Informatics Cloud Services. Customers will find budgetary flexibility in service options, world-class infrastructure, fully managed services, and organizational synergy. These key benefits will allow them to concentrate on running their laboratories.
