LabVantage Solutions on February 22, announced an expansion of its professional services organization. The company will now operate teams in South America and Asia. Between 2020-2023, the organization reported 80% growth, according to a press release from the company.
LabVantage has been growing over the last few years. In October 2022, the company merged with Biomax Informatics, a software solutions and services provider for efficient decision-making and knowledge management at the intersection of life sciences, healthcare, and information technologies. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“We recognize the intricate demands of the life sciences industry and the specific challenges faced when implementing laboratory information management software (LIMS). Our professional services expansion means that no matter where our customers are, we can provide them with the localized expertise and support needed to optimize their systems and processes,” said Craig Bowie, vice president of Professional Services, Americas at LabVantage, in a press release.
The merger enabled the integration of AILANI, an advanced semantic search tool, into LabVantage's LIMS and analytics tools. AILANI uses semantic modeling, ontologies, linguistics, and AI algorithms to connect a variety of data sources.
“Our goal is to hand back more time to customers for scientific exploration," said Alan Marcus, Chief Growth Officer at LabVantage Solutions, in a press release. "Your data can now be unified, housed, searched, and analyzed within a single platform from concept to market.”
The enterprise laboratory software provider, which is headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey, works with more than 1,500 customers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, medical device, biobank, food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, oil and gas, genetics/diagnostics, forensic, and healthcare industries.
