CCiTUB have implanted an activity management system (SGA)

The Scientific and Technological Centers of the UB have implanted a new activity management system (SGA) which replaces the previous one (USU). The new system, based on ORACLE and .net technology, is implemented on a LIMS system (Laboratory Information Management System) that allows the management of the information generated in the CCiTUB laboratories.

The system covers different processes of the CCiTUB, from the moment that samples enter in a laboratory to the moment when the analysis is completed and the invoice is generated. It also includes tools for stock control, equipment maintenance and ELNs (Electronic Lab Notebook). Moreover, it has functionalities to manage the customers database and the economic activity that is generated by the work done at the technical units.

Finally, the integration with the systems of the University of Barcelona is done through a communication interface that allows SAP invoicing. The system also provides the necessary tools to access data in real time and to accomplish the ISO 9001 or FDA requirements. Furthermore, it improves the quality control and permits to manage workflows more easily and efficiently reducing the number of human errors.

The benefits of the new system will also be reflected in a better customer service, the delivering of results in a shorter time and a faster response in administrative management tasks.
