EdgeLab is a powerful information management tool with a comprehensive range of laboratory functionality. It runs on a colorful, easy-to-use Windows(R) graphical interface. EdgeLab can be easily configured to meet the business needs of large, complex, multi-site hospital laboratories, as well as small, single-site hospitals that have much less complexity. EdgeLab is connected with more than 1,000 analyzers and interchanges data with all major hospital healthcare software packages. Saint-Paul's laboratory processes 250 patient files per week and will directly connect 14 laboratory analyzers to the EdgeLab solution. Inlog's development approach is to provide laboratory software which offers production management as well as laboratory management. EdgeLab will help Saint-Paul experience greater efficiencies in their laboratory while offering reliability, quality and performance. Dr. Martigny, Saint-Paul's Head of Laboratory Service, stated, "We are happy to replace our LIMS with Inlog's EdgeLab. We chose Inlog due to the quality of their response, especially in respect to project tracking, project management and their comprehensive LIMS features which met our requirements." Will Willman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing EU/ME/Asia at Global Med Technologies, commented, "We are excited to have been chosen to assist Saint-Paul with their laboratory information management system needs in their hospital.
