Hollywood, Florida, December 8, 2008– STARLIMS Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq:LIMS), a leading provider of laboratory information management systems, or LIMS, today announced that it has been selected by a government law enforcement agency in the Pacific Rim for a $3.3 million award covering licenses for the Company’s web-based STARLIMS® software as well as implementation services and first-year maintenance.
STARLIMS will provide a unified information management solution to automate and manage the entire lifecycle of the agency’s forensic samples, exhibits and seized properties. Replacing several legacy and paper-based systems, STARLIMS will enable remote data entry in a standards-compliant fashion, web-based information sharing across the department’s multiple sites, and single-search data mining across numerous forensic disciplines.
