Physion, LLC (doing business as "Ovation"[1]) develops and distributes the laboratory information management system (LIMS) software solution LIMS+.

History

Physion was formally founded as Physion Consulting, LLC in March 2009, though the company changed its name to Physion, LLC in October 2013.[2] In mid- to late 2011, the company introduced its Ovation scientific data management system (SDMS) to the public, describing it as a tool that "handles the entire lifecycle of scientific data from acquisition to publication and beyond."[3][4] Development of the software happened in-house and on the company's GitHub account.[5] In 2012, CEO and co-founder Barry Wark shared the SDMS' data model with the INCF Neuroimaging and Neurophysiology Data Sharing Task Forces, comparing and contrasting it with the XCEDE 2 XML-based model developed by the Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN).[6][7][8] After initially using relational databases to prototype the software, Physion later turned to IBM's Cloudant Dedicated Cluster in late 2014 for a more "scalable data layer that synchronizes data between the cloud and multiple local clients."[9] The company had also developed a Python API to allow "full functionality of the Ovation ecosystem from within Python."[10]

In January 2016, Physion implemented a series of new changes with the company's web presence and software offerings. The company shut down its physion.us domain[11], changed their doing business as name to Ovation, and seemingly phased out its Ovation SDMS for a new laboratory information management system (LIMS) called LIMS+.[12] The last known version of Ovation SDMS is 3.1.3.[13]

Technology and products

LIMS+

LIMS+ is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) that "combine[s] an evolved LIMS with other, vital services, such as document management and training."[14] Though the company doesn't explicitly state it, it presumably has taken the document management features of the previous Ovation SDMS and added LIMS features to it.
