What exactly is a [[laboratory information system]] (LIS) or [[laboratory information management system]] (LIMS) anyway? Do I need one? What options are available and how do I compare them? What about a request for information (RFI), request for proposal (RFP), or request for quotation (RFQ)? These are questions [[laboratory]] professionals typically ponder upon finding themselves charged with the mission of finding software for their lab. For many the task can be a daunting proposition.

You may know the workflow-related needs of your laboratory, but perhaps you don't know much about [[Information management|data management]] solutions like LIS and LIMS, leaving you intimidated by all the options. You'll first need to gauge your lab's informatics needs in order to determine which products are worth investigating further. Of course your lab's analysis requirements, reporting and data sharing constraints, instrument interfacing needs, [[Barcode|barcoding]] and tracking requirements, quality assurance processes, etc. are very important factors. But these systems vary in numerous ways, and other important factors exist. Price should certainly be considered, although value is ultimately more important than a low price. Other important questions that get asked include:
