WinLims is QSI's premier Laboratory Information Management System. Now available on a rental basis, WinLims makes LIMS a practical choice for even the smallest of laboratories.

The WinLims PC Client Family

WinLims is unique in the fact that a family of clients is supplied with each user licence, allowing companies to choose which PC client or clients suits their business needs and existing computer infrastructure.

The ability to mix and match clients for the different parts of the organisation or business needs is a significant advantage. A typical situation could be the need for customers to log samples into WinLims remotely via the Internet.

Many companies recognise that there is a move towards the use of web technologies for the running of mission critical enterprise systems such as LIMS, however at this current time, they do not have the IT infrastructure in place to take advantage of the Web technology. These companies can in confidence initially implement their WinLims , utilising the traditional Window Client and then switch at a later date to the Web Client in the knowledge that there are no extra licence costs.

The other clear benefit that QSI offers to prospective customers is the actual existence of all three clients, these are not vapour ware or vendor promises to develop such technology in the future. QSI has customers for all of these WinLims clients, hence these are tried and tested products that are available today.

This level of future proofing does not exist with our competitors' products.
