Client-specific seminars are available upon request. <br /> i <br /> 1 <br /> DATA MANAGEMENT ` <br /> CAS has successfully met the data management requirements of a wide variety of <br /> 1 projects for both government and private sector clients. Included in this section is a i <br /> description of our information system platform and electronic data deliverables. <br /> 1 System Platform <br /> All CAS laboratories operate in a server/local area network (LAN) configuration. CAS I <br /> has standardized on Microsoft® (MS) Windows® applications (i.e., Word®, Excel(D, <br /> Access®, and MS Exchange®). f <br /> Laboratory Information Management System(LIMS) j <br /> G <br /> 1 Our information technology group is in the process of replacing each laboratory's <br /> current LIMS system, which will be implemented over the next two years. <br /> The current primary LIMS operates in a wide area network (WAN) configuration with a <br /> primary server and one linked site. The main system is located at the Kelso laboratory <br /> 1 and is linked to our Canoga Park laboratory. This enables CAS/Kelso and <br /> CAS/Canoga Park to quickly share information and work more efficiently. Our current <br /> primary LIMS has been developed by the customization of an Automated Compliance <br /> Systems LIMS running on the Oracle® relational database management system <br /> operating in a UNIX® environment. <br /> I <br /> Page 27 of 29 <br /> i <br /> 1 <br />
