TYPES OF SAMPLEMANAGER UPGRADES
BASIC (~5 MD)*
• Straight upgrade of the SM10+ system to bring the system to the new agreed version
• Little to none customization
• No hardware / architecture changes (same servers used)
• No utilization of new functionality or new modules
MODERATE (~15 MD)*
• Upgrade of SM and Modules (usually IM) used to the new agreed version
• “Some” customization on the system
• SM9- version upgrades
• New hardware / architecture (Cloud/AWS)
• Minimal Configuration to enable use of new functionality / consulting on the new functionality
COMPLEX (TBD –CASE BY CASE)
• Implementation of new functionality, changes to labs and business processes
• Upgrade of SM to the new agreed version and installation of new modules (SQC, Stability, SMIDI)
• New hardware / architecture (Cloud / AWS)
• Oracle to SQL Server vice-versa
• Customization assessment and replacement with OOTB SM11+/12 functionality

SM INSTRUMENT INTEGRATION EVOLUTION
Yukon
• De-supported on 2011
• Instrument integration to SM (by files or serial port) and was used for older versions of SM before Instrument Manager was released (for SM 9).
• It allows configuring parsing scripts using a set of predefined commands in an easy but limited way.
• Very limited options for logging or debugging.
• The software is designer for 16-bitsoperating systems so it usually consumes a lot of memory if run in 32-bits PCs, so it was usually installed on lab PCs only, sending results to the SM server
Instrument Manager
• Supported but not being enhanced within new versions
• Instrument Manager has first beenreleased with version 1.1 along with SM 9.2.1, it is currently on version 11.0 anddid not have many significant versionchanges since then, besides defectfixes
• Instrument Manager only deals withinstrument results retrieval (single direction interface) for existing tests in SM, but is really easier than IntegrationManager for configuringparsing/mapping scripts andinstruments connection.
Integration Manager
• Supported and constantly being enhanced
• Integration Manager can be used for more complex integration (not just for instruments), allowing creation of“worklist files” to be imported on theinstruments (bi-directional) and it canalso manage files and/or databaseinterfaces (for querying data directly), but the parsing/mapping scripts configuration is much more complicated than on InstrumentManager.
• Integration Manager has first beenreleased with version 1.1 in Feb 2007 and is currently on version 3.2 (compatible with SM 10.2 and higher).
19
INTEGRATION MANAGER LATEST FEATURES
Workflow Agent and Workflow Designer, allowing Integration Manager to interface easily with systems that require multiple stages of import/export
IM Administration Client Enhancements to make the IM Administration Client more intuitive
Support for Microsoft SQL Server Database (and Oracle)
Access to SampleManager analyses and components to make it easier doing mappings
Communication with Watson LIMS from Thermo

SM MODULES – SQC (VGL X .NET)
SQC (Statistic Quality Control) Module has been in existance since SM 2004. It was migrated from VGL to .NET in SM 11.2.
Main enhancements include: All forms were converted to .NET forms Better quality charts for displaying and printing Default out-of-the-box reports and trend rules (Nelson/Western) Integration with SM Workflows for firing events and creating automated reports
21
SM MODULES – STABILITY (VGL X .NET)
VGL Module
.Net Stability Module is entirely new development of a Stability module
.Net Stability is incompatible with VGL Stability Completely different entities and database structure .Net version can be used together with VGL data in parallel
Features in new .Net Stability Integration with Lots of Functionality (.Net forms) Articles, Packaging Systems and Study Markets Picklists for Dispensing Pull Events Inventory Tracking Dashboards and Reports using Forms and Report Designer
22
OTHER SM MODULES
PIMS The SM/PIMS (Plant Information Management System from OSI Soft) Module also exists since old versions of SM (at least SM
2004) in VGL, it is currently on version 11 and did not have many significant version changes since then.
SMIDI New version released (SMIDI 11), redisegned but still VGL. Reduces significantly the amount of customization needed and
streamlines/simplifies most of the customizations needed. New version used the new NetWeaver connector Still a hard product to be supported by Thermo Product roadmap indicates that a new and more supportable .Net version of SMIDI is in consideration for future releases
Mobile App and LES Limited functionality and customization options
Chromeleon Integration / Data Manager Available on latest versions of SM11 and SM12

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUILDING A BUSINESS CASE FOR YOUR SAMPLEMANAGE UPGRADE
Why build a business cases for a SM upgrade? Help streamline planning and decisions for a GO/NO GO on
the upgrade
Justification Be very clear on what the company will WIN with the
upgrade (direct and indirect gains) Regulatory Requirements Bottlenecks Pain Points (Problems being addressed) Risk Reduction
COST x BENEFIT (ROI) Impacts on other systems and processes Cash Flow Changes Personnel Changes What Happens if you do nothing?
Buy-in from Stakeholders
Change Management
Process
Financial Implications
Justification (Technical and Non
Technical)
27
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUILDING A BUSINESS CASE FOR YOUR SAMPLEMANAGE UPGRADE?
Financial Implications (Is the money spent justifiable?) Support contract with ThermoFisher active Resources Hardware / Architecture for your SM system Other Softwares (Thermo / Third Party)? Services (Internal Personnel /PMO/ IT /Business, Contractors)
Time away from business users (SME / training / procedures)
Change Management Process Impact on Business Units (IT, Laboratory, Management) Significant effort to build consensus

GETTING STARTED WITH THE BUSINESS CASE (MODERATE TO COMPLEX UPGRADES)
1. Assemble the Team
2. Define in-scope business/laboratory processes and practices
3. Identify the Key Benefits / Justification• Hard saving• Soft saving
Members from all areas of the organization❖ Laboratory Management❖ IT Professional❖ Lab Personnel❖ Finance
29
WHAT IS IN SCOPE? (MODERATE AND COMPLEX UPGRADES)
(1) Review the Current State
Lab workflows
Processes
SOPs
Integrations
(2) Perform Gap & Needs Analysis
Identify manual processes and practices
Prioritize the needs
Document the business requirements
(3) Define the Future State
Map out the To-Be process flows
Determine SOP impact
Document the user and functional requirements
