In an effort to improve productivity and reduce costs, organizations are looking for opportunities to standardize and harmonize laboratory software. The evaluation of Scientific Data Management Systems (SDMS) and Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) is ongoing in QC, GxP, and manufacturing environments.

To provide insight into the synergies between SDMS and LIMS, this white paper investigates the roles and merits of each data management platform within the science-driven organization.
