The implementati<strong>on</strong> of data management soluti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>in</strong> the <strong>Life</strong> Science envir<strong>on</strong>ment iscomplicated. The work plan/architecture <strong>and</strong> soluti<strong>on</strong> strategy will be differentaccord<strong>in</strong>g to the type of activity: <strong>in</strong>dustry, academic or soluti<strong>on</strong> provider (such asCRO for pharmaceutical <strong>in</strong>dustry), therefore mak<strong>in</strong>g it difficult to provide a comm<strong>on</strong>generic soluti<strong>on</strong>.Before implement<strong>in</strong>g a data management soluti<strong>on</strong>, the aims <strong>and</strong> objectives must bewell specified to ensure that the soluti<strong>on</strong> will match the specific needs. Theevaluati<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> rout<strong>in</strong>e use of <strong>LIMS</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>ELN</strong> cannot be implemented before settl<strong>in</strong>gthe strategy.As a matter of fact, design<strong>in</strong>g the right product requires access<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong>tegrat<strong>in</strong>g,stor<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> analyz<strong>in</strong>g a vast amount of data. Everyth<strong>in</strong>g from complex scientific datafor drugs, chemicals <strong>and</strong> materials is c<strong>on</strong>nected to the associated <strong>in</strong>formati<strong>on</strong>needed to br<strong>in</strong>g the product successfully to market. Without an efficient datamanagement soluti<strong>on</strong> the <strong>in</strong>novati<strong>on</strong> process can easily slow down, delay<strong>in</strong>g itsimplementati<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> the associated benefits.2 -‐ The data management market Analytical <strong>Life</strong> ScienceInstrumentati<strong>on</strong>$40 bLab.
