Data migration can be a daunting task for laboratories looking to transition to a new Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). The process of transferring data from one system to another requires careful planning, execution, and validation to ensure that all data is accurately transferred and accessible in the new system. In this blog post, we will dive into the data migration for LIMS. 

Challenges 

One of the most challenging aspects of data migration is its potential to disrupt laboratory operations. This disruption can occur due to the complexity of the process, the risk of data loss or corruption, and the need to ensure data security and compliance. 

Solution

At OnQ Software, we understand the challenges laboratories face during data migration, which is why we have developed a comprehensive approach to help streamline the process and minimise disruptions to your operations. Our team of experts works closely with you to assess your data migration needs and execute the migration process efficiently.

QLIMS has partnered with qcKen from ZIFO Rnd, a groundbreaking tool designed to meet your needs completely. QLIMS and qcKen are dedicated to making your lab’s digital transition as seamless and painless as possible.

By leveraging qcKen, OnQ Software ensures a smooth and efficient data migration process for its customers. qcKen offers several benefits, including the ability to import, screen, and check large volumes of data, migrate data from handwritten documents, and migrate directly from other LIMS databases.

40 days to 2 days 

Our tool allows you to easily integrate and transfer data from multiple sources, no matter the format or location, ensuring that all your valuable information is included in the migration process. qcKen can import data directly from any source documents such as Certificate of Analysis, Analysis Reports, Product Specifications, Worksheets, General Test Procedures and Standard Operating Procedures.

Analysts can easily examine and correct anomalies as needed by reading documents to create an RPA specification. The service uses machine learning to continually learn and improve conversion accuracy, and once the RPA is analyst-validated, qcKen’s Object Creation Engine takes over and creates objectives in QLIMS. So, our approach to implementation gives analysts an opportunity to focus on performing analysis.

But it’s not just about data transfer, qcKen also guarantees a smooth and fast transition, reducing the disruption to your lab operations. Previous research has demonstrated that qcKen can significantly decrease the duration of migrations from a typical timeframe of 40 days to only 2 days.

With qcKen, you can focus on what really matters: running your lab efficiently and effectively.
