Frequently asked questions about LDB onboarding workshops

An onboarding workshop is a free live training session on a specific LDB module. Drawing on our experience of more than 200 LIMS implementations, we provide a step-by-step guide to implementing it in your laboratory.
We welcome new customers who want a structured, successful LDB implementation, as well as existing customers who want to deepen their knowledge, discover new features or train staff. The workshops also cater for laboratories exploring and selecting a LIMS that want to learn about suitable solutions and digitalisation opportunities.
An onboarding workshop typically lasts 45 minutes. Afterwards, we take the time to answer your questions – until they have all been answered.
The onboarding workshops are ideal for the key users responsible for LDB in your organisation and for employees who want a deeper understanding of LDB LIMS. They are also intended for laboratories selecting a LIMS that want to test whether LDB is the right fit before deciding.
There is no limit on the number of participants.
No. The onboarding workshops are completely free.
Yes. You will receive the agenda with your invitation link, in the event description below the joining details.
We recommend that existing customers sign in to their test system, which is included free of charge for all LDB Enterprise Cloud users. Prospective customers use the demo system.
We have prepared examples for all laboratory fields.
No. Having a few examples ready is sufficient.
