Hello Everyone!

I am looking for a LIMS solution primarily for stability (setup, scheduling, tracking, data storage, report generation, expiry dating, support regulatory filing, integrates with other systems to import/export data...), but our IT would prefer a one-stop LIMS system that could serve the entire corporation (raw materials, finished products, stability, methods, specifications, water, utility, EM, cleaning validation, quality management, calibration, PM, validation, bioanalytical, clinical management, inventory, storage, investigations, ELN,...).

I have not had previous experience using LIMS, and would very much appreciate feedback from this community regarding:


  1.  Pros/Cons of using a stability LIMS vs. a general LIMS program
  2.  Pros/Cons of LIMS systems you have used or are currently using
  3.  Which LIMS system would you recommend or is on your wish list (and why)

Many thanks in advance for any feedback!
Amy Wong
