NFI’s IT renewal initiative aims to modernize its infrastructure by replacing outdated manual systems with streamlined, automated workflows. Currently, the workflows involve multiple manual registrations across different systems, which can lead to time-consuming tasks and potential inconsistencies. The integration of LabVantage LIMS will unify data entry and enhance traceability, ensuring that data is efficiently recorded and utilized. It will also improve overall clarity and operational efficiency across forensic investigations, saving valuable time for all involved.

Peter Blom, Chief Information Officer of NFI, expressed his enthusiasm for the project: “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our journey to innovate and improve our forensic services. By integrating a sophisticated LIMS, we are setting a new standard in forensic science.”

“We are proud to work alongside NFI in their mission to enhance forensic operations,” said Michel Gerlicher, President, LabVantage International. “This collaboration will bring about a new era of efficiency and reliability in their laboratory workflows.”

The project includes contributions from Protinus, which served as the IT broker, and Capgemini, which is developing the sovereign cloud infrastructure to host the LIMS. The new system will integrate seamlessly into NFI’s operations, ensuring compliance with stringent security standards while enabling forensic experts to work faster and more confidently. By leveraging a secure, sovereign cloud infrastructure, the partnership will meet the highest standards of data protection and regulatory compliance, including BIO (Baseline Information Security for Government) and BBN (Baseline Information Security for Enterprises) requirements.

Alan Marcus, Chief Growth Officer at LabVantage Solutions, emphasized the broader implications of this alliance: “We are excited to see the real-life impact our investments in industry-specific solutions bring to our clients. With Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) becoming the de facto delivery standard, we expect vertical solutions to prove increasingly impactful, allowing clients to benefit from the latest innovations without being held back by past adaptations required by industry-agnostic software. NFI’s validation that our forensics solutions are fit for purpose is encouraging, and we are humbled to contribute to the fact-finding mission of NFI’s world-leading forensic laboratories.”

LabVantage Solutions, in joint effort with Protinus and Capgemini, will ensure the new system is secure and fully compliant with all required standards. By implementing LabVantage LIMS, NFI will streamline processes, enhance data accuracy, and improve data management, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and reliability. This partnership strengthens NFI’s role as a leader in delivering reliable forensic services to organizations around the world, while further establishing LabVantage Solutions’ prominence in the enterprise laboratory software solutions industry.
