Eclipse Scientific Group is one of Europe's leading independent laboratories. Eclipse Scientific Group uses a laboratory information management system (LIMS) to register incoming samples and testing requirements, process test results, report back to customers, and handle invoicing. They were operating several different systems across nine UK and Irish sites that each had its own database, so it was hard to provide reliable management reporting. In August 2001 Eclipse upgraded to Oracle8i Database and began to implement a commercial lab information package. However, it became apparent that the required functionality, flexibility, and performance were not being achieved, and that the system didn't support many of the Oracle features Eclipse was used to, such as multiple-user viewing. Eclipse then approached Explorer (UK) Ltd. It suggested that the required robustness and flexibility could be achieved using Oracle Forms and Reports deployed on a dedicated Forms/Reports server.
