ChemWare was named among the fifty fastest-growing private firms in the Research Triangle (NC) by the Triangle Business Journal, reflecting continued growth and profitability. The most significant contributors to this growth have been in the environmental and water quality laboratory sector, in addition to a number of recent contracts for automating public health and clinical laboratories, particularly those involved in newborn screening, forensic drug testing, and the growing field of pain management.

 

ChemWare was named the winner of the OEM Excellence in Innovation Award for its creative use of the iServer^® framework to provide customers with an intuitive, customizable portal for distributing, managing and analyzing complex laboratory data via the internet.

HORIZON Web Portal^® leverages the superior scalability and flexibility of the iServer, e.Report Designer Professional^®, and Actuate Query^® application suite to provide private and government laboratories with secure, real-time reporting and business intelligence solutions. Actuate Corporation recognized winners in three Business Intelligence and Performance Management categories at the 12th Annual Actuate International User Conference on August 4th in Las Vegas, NV.

 

In a recent analysis of the World Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) Markets, Frost & Sullivan recognized ChemWare, Inc.’s focus on devoting significant resources to develop a product based on user-selectable business rule parameters and for significantly reducing the risks, resources, and time associated with LIMS deployment.

"A successful LIMS delivers business value, giving business unit leaders more control over business practices and laboratory operations than they had prior to deployment," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Nate Cosper.

"Embracing the client’s need for business control, ChemWare focused its design strategy and development efforts on producing an off-the-shelf LIMS solution that shifts the laboratory reins from the IT department back to the business unit leader. The company accomplished this by creating an open architecture LIMS platform that promotes configuration instead of customization. In fact, not a single HORIZON user has had to change source code in order to meet industry- or lab-specific needs."

In a late-2003 CDC/PHII-sponsored survey of the public health LIMS market, HORIZON LIMS^® received the highest overall score of the over two hundred vendor products evaluated. The evaluation weighted scores on each of the 500 requirements specifications across all sixteen critical business processes identified in the APHL LIMS requirements document. HORIZON met all but twenty-one of the 2,470 requirements and sub-requirements off-the-shelf. In other words, more than 99% of all PHL requirements received the full score of 5 points – no customization of any kind required. The results of this survey are available to APHL members through a password-restricted area of the APHL web site.
