Hi Steve,

Why did it take 9 months to launch?

I was pretty impressed with Stratocore's solution -
http://stratocore.com -  from meeting their President at ABRF in Orlando
in March, and then follow-up emails and webinar. Has anyone compared
iLab with Stratocore?


thanks,

George

We have been working with iLab Solutions for over a year and we successfully launched our system in March. We chose this particular core facility management system for several reasons:
