Traditionally, laboratories have operated autonomously from the rest of the organization. However, organizations have realized the need to extend laboratory data outside of the laboratory environment into enterprise-wide operational processes in order to enhance productivity and efficiency. Laboratory Information Management Solutions (LIMS) can provide vital information to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, especially the quality/process control systems of ERP, such as quality management and materials management.
With SAPPHIRE Enterprise Connector™ (SEC) certified by SAP, SAPPHIRE was the first LIMS achieving “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” status. SEC is an embedded component of SAPPHIRE that SAPPHIRE that facilitates tailored bi-directional data flow between SAPPHIRE and SAP. SEC enables end-to-end process integration, an IT practice that allows disparate applications and business partners' systems to exchange information and execute transactions smoothly, operating as if they were a single system.
By integrating a variety of processes in a configurable fashion, SEC helps businesses achieve their objectives through providing real-time data access for decision-makers with enriched, actionable information. It allows businesses to gain a number of advantages, such as:
 |
Accelerating time-to-market of products and services, |
|
Maintaining data integrity and reducing data redundancies across multiple systems, |
|
Facilitating data transfer and knowledge sharing throughout the enterprise, |
|
Decreasing the cost of ownership for system maintenance and upgrades, |
|
Increasing operating productivity between the laboratory, manufacturing, and the corporate enterprise, and |
|
Enhancing overall competitiveness through improved collaboration and information management. |
