Mci IT Pty. Ltd. develops and distributes infrastructure management and laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

The company was founded in 2012.[1]

Sometime in 2022, the company removed its Lab-i, CLab-i, and i-Plant solutions from the website, in its place offering the "Cloud Solutions Suite," a combination laboratory information management system (LIMS), quality management system (QMS), and inventory and asset management solution.

Prior offerings

Lab-i was a laboratory information management system (LIMS) described as "extremely versatile, and it is the best way to manage your laboratory effectively."[2]

CLab-i appeared to be a LIMS similar to Lab-i but designed to address the needs of civil engineering labs.[2]

i-Plant is an "all inclusive integrated plant maintenance management system that aims to decrease downtime and increase productivity."[2]

Technology and products

Cloud Solutions Suite

Mci IT's Cloud Solutions Suite (CSS) is described as a modular, cloud-based suite containing a LIMS, QMS, and inventory management system, with the suite being "built on a low-code platform" and designed "for both large and small organizations."[3]

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.
