Solutions for IT

CERF ELN is flexible and “IT friendly”

• CERF is based on familiar tools including Apache Tomcat, Java and your choice of SQL database. MySQL is the default.
• CERF does not “call home” or require access to anything external. It can even run on a totally secure, sealed LAN.
• CERF client software is a standalone desktop app that you control completely. No unpredictable updates.
• CERF ELN features all new installers and helper apps to ensure easy install of both client and server.
• Online user documentation and responsive support minimizes user contact with your IT team.
• Detailed technical documentation readily available for administrators.
• Lab-Ally is highly focussed on total data management solutions for IT. We can help you deploy CERF in virtually any environment.

Broad platform support, at your place or ours

• Windows and Macintosh fully supported for both server and clients.
• Select either SaaS on your choice of host, or on-premise solutions.
• Sever may be deployed on physical or virtual hosts. (For maximum longevity, we recommend a physical host).
• Mac, Windows and native iPad clients.
• Easy remote server install by our technicians, or we can talk you through self install of the server.

Built with integration in mind

• Capture data directly from lab instruments using the CERF Automaton.
• Supports LDAP.

Secure

• Supports current encryption-in-flight protocols including SHA256 with RSA 2048.
• Supports access lists, access roles and true PKI digital signatures with secondary signature password.
• Does not require internet access, so CERF can even be run on a totally secure, sealed LAN.

Future Proof

• Perpetual license and low cost of ownership means worry-free control of your data forever.
• Option to “freeze” your install to avoid the expenses associated with re-validating everything after every update
