Leading Edge was commissioned by a prominent UK laboratory to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the market for Laboratory Information Management (LIMs) systems, aiming to evaluate the commercialisation process and the strategic movements within the sector.
Research Methodology
The study was meticulously designed to include in-depth interviews with an array of competitor laboratories, handpicked by the client. This diverse group spanned from large water plc’s to large multidisciplinary laboratories and small specialist firms. To ensure candid discussions and full cooperation, Leading Edge adopted the guise of a company compiling a market report on the advent of automation in laboratory services.
Insightful Data Collection
Through this strategic façade, Leading Edge successfully delved into the competitors’ plans for LIMs integration and their perspectives on various data handling and communication systems. The investigative approach was discreet yet pointed, allowing for in-depth questioning about the targets’ future strategies regarding such technologies without revealing the client’s intent.
Strategic Outcomes
The culmination of this investigative effort was an assembly of profiles detailing the current status and developmental strides in LIMs and related technologies across numerous UK laboratories. This provided the client with a clearer picture of the competitive landscape and potential industry shifts towards advanced data management systems.
