Fueling Excellence with Intelligent Solutions

The Canadian Energy and Petrochemical industries face daunting challenges due to global uncertainties related to war in the Middle East, unstable global pricing and the current trade environment and animosity with the United States. This fuels additional demand for efficiency, compliance, self-sufficiency and sustainability as well as opportunities for potential expansion to new global markets. Laboratories supporting energy operations often struggle with manual workflows, disorganized data and outdated systems, which can hinder performance. By addressing these hurdles, energy organizations can access new levels of productivity and ensure operational quality and reliability.

Migration of SampleManager™ LIMS v10.5 to v12.3 for a Canadian Oil Sands Company
Challenge:
A Canadian mining company was operating on SampleManager LIMS version 10.5, which had become unsupported by Thermo Scientific™. This lack of support posed significant risks, as any system issues could not be addressed by the vendor. Additionally, the company had many custom functionalities and forms that needed to be preserved during the upgrade.
Solution:
CSols was engaged to upgrade the LIMS to a newer version. A CSols consultant, serving as both Business Analyst and Developer, managed the migration of static data, modified system structures to accommodate custom fields, and updated both Windows-based and VGL-based forms to replicate existing functionalities. This comprehensive approach ensured a seamless transition to the supported platform.
