Laboratory digital transformation: An IT perspective

In this white paper, Thermo Fisher Scientific discusses the digital transformation journey. For the vision of the future, Thermo Fisher Scientific has taken a step back from the previous roadmap laboratory software has gone down. It realizes that the narrow development focus of providing cloud-based indexing services for, or simply cloud hosting of, virtualized software is not enough to actually revolutionize laboratory software technology or support future development. A platform needs to be established first and it needs to be universal from the ground up. Once that is available, downstream development like automating remote instrument maintenance falls into place.
