Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces Connects

Thermo Scientific Connects is a set of offerings that leverage the company's
breadth of Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and
Chromatography Data Systems (CDS) capabilities, as well as expertise in
enterprise systems integration to help streamline and improve the transfer
of knowledge between laboratory-generated data and enterprise-level
information systems. Connects assists organizations in integrating
application-specific workflows, thereby transforming laboratory data into
relevant business information and maximizing a company's enterprise system
investments to better support critical management decisions in today's
resource-constrained environment.

Thermo Fisher Scientific is well positioned to offer this comprehensive
solution set, which is comprised of a combination of Thermo Scientific
instruments, LIMS and CDS software, tools and services, and capitalizes on
ongoing partnerships with technology leaders including Microsoft, SAP,
Oracle, enterprise Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) providers like Symyx
Technologies, document management systems (DMS) companies like NextDocs and
members of the company's Global Partner Alliance, a network of highly
experienced partners that deliver local and regional support to Thermo
Scientific product and service offerings around the world.  By offering an
end-to-end solution that facilitates the integration of various instruments
and systems, along with the interoperability necessary to transform data
into relevant business drivers, Thermo Scientific Connects will help expand
the business of science from the laboratory throughout the enterprise.

Thermo Scientific Connects is the latest strategic initiative from Thermo
Fisher Scientific that leverages the power of the company's product and
services offerings and its partners, to bring key business knowledge
originating in the laboratory to management at all levels of the enterprise.
The integration of the entire enterprise will facilitate better data
correlation and collaboration, end-to-end report generation, more secure
data exchanges, with the goal of providing management with a dashboard view
of the key metrics essential to running the business, thereby enabling
management to have the critical data they need before, not after, any point
of crisis.

"Analytical laboratories can provide critical data for tighter control of
manufacturing processes and to ensure product quality," according to ARC Sr.
Analyst Paula Hollywood "but only if a coordinated integration strategy is
employed where lab data is integrated with higher level business systems
that will provide information visibility to decision makers when they need
it.  The value of lab data is enhanced when partnering with a supplier such
as Thermo Fisher Scientific who has the analytical measurement expertise,
the knowledge of process manufacturing, the capability to manage the data,
and provides the support services required for an integrated solution."

This integration of Thermo Scientific Informatics solutions with enterprise
systems and laboratory equipment is particularly relevant in today's
business climate where near instantaneous response is required by companies
in all industries to protect the public or the environment, whether it be a
food producer responding to a contamination event, a petro/chemical company
ensuring the safety of the natural environment, or a pharmaceutical company
responding to raw materials inconsistencies in a manufacturing environment.

Dave Champagne, vice president and general manager, Informatics, Thermo
Fisher Scientific, says "We have an opportunity to help our customers now
respond with more certainty to the many challenges facing business today.
Changes in the current environment, whether political, economic or
regulatory, make it imperative for companies to gain greater leverage and
utilization from their existing enterprise data systems and LIMS
investments. Working closely with our strategic partners, Thermo Fisher is
well positioned to help our customers to achieve these goals."
