Siemens AG is a German engineering conglomerate that focuses on the energy, health care, and industry sectors.


History

On August 5, 2014, Cerner Corporation announced it had acquired Siemens' Health Services division for $1.3 billion U.S. The company stated "[f]ollowing the acquisition, support for Siemens Health Services core platforms will remain in place" and that "[c]urrent implementations will continue."[1] Affected products may include Siemens' Servolab and TD-Synergy LISs, though as of September 2014 it's not clear if/when they'll become Cerner applications.

Technology and products

Servolab, SIMATIC IT R&D, SIMATIC IT Unilab, and TD-Synergy

Servolab is a laboratory information system (LIS) "that adapts to any lab workflow model as well as each lab's unique needs."[2] The company states the product is not available in the United States.

"SIMATIC IT R&D Suite is a scalable software platform to cover typical R&D activities such as development of new products, product maintenance, product enhancement."[3] This suite includes the LIMS SIMATIC IT Unilab and electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) functionality.

"SIMATIC IT Unilab is a multi-lab, multi-language enterprise LIMS for QC, service and R&D labs."[4] It is also a component of the SIMATIC IT R&D Suite.[5]

TD-Synergy is a LIS that "centralizes control of lab processes ... helping labs reduce costs, optimize workflow, and deliver better physician support."[6] The company states the product is not available in the United States. Siemens is the distributor for the product, which is developed by Technidata SAS.

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:
  • the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
  • the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
  • the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
  • the feature does not exist for the product.
A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
