Ethosoft, Inc. is a privately-held employee-owned corporation. All company assets and interests are entirely US owned.
Our team members have experience in both the Information Technology and Laboratory fields. In addition, our application experts have working lab experience in agriculture, drinking water, environmental, forensic sciences, manufacturing, petro-chem, public health, and wastewater (at Municipal, State, and Federal levels).
Ethosoft was founded on two primary principles of (1) developing quality software and (2) providing superior services and support to our customers. This commitment is core to our business and you will find it interwoven in our corporate culture. You will see it demonstrated through the way we follow “old fashioned” values of listening to — and working hard for — our customers.
Customer focus means that we constantly ask ourselves “what is best for our customers.” This frequently means going against many of the current industry practices that sound good in theory, but will ultimately lead to long–term customer dissatisfaction. Here are a few examples of our business practices that run counter to current industry trends:
– We do not outsource our product development or application support. We feel that this leads to quality issues and undue responsiveness to our customers.
– We view technology as a tool, not the solution. While we utilize the latest .Net web technology, we understand it is the usefulness of a software application, not the technology that Ethosoft will be judged on.
– We want to talk to our customers. We feel that too many companies place obstacles between their staff and their customers. Innovation does not occur in a box! And the more we are in touch with our customers the better our products and services become.
We look forward to doing business together.
Product Information
Why the name ‘X-LIMS’? Because with one letter we are able to describe our product: In mathematical equations – ‘X’ is the means to a solving a problem or equation and ‘X’ best describes our solution to the laboratory and IT integration equation. That letter ‘X’ in the name references the technologies that serve as the foundation of our LIMS. These technologies are:
– XML – Extensible Markup Language. Simply a common data transfer format that was originally designed for web documents. It allows the LIMS to efficiently define, transfer, and accept information within itself as well as to and from other applications. The XML format is quickly becoming the standard by which data can be transferred and transformed between dissimilar applications.
– EXCEL – X-LIMS provides a seamless integration with Microsoft, Inc.’s office application. Microsoft’s Excel has, for years, been the defacto tool for laboratories to manage data requiring, and resulting from, calculations of varying complexity. We didn’t see the need to re-invent the wheel. If you are a lab professional – you should be nodding your head in agreement about now.
– AJAX – Asynchronous Java And XML. Quite a term, but in reality it’s the logical evolution of web-browser based applications. AJAX is simply the integration of the existing scripting languages used on web pages and the data that the web page is displaying (or using). The actual interaction between these two entities (script language and data) is in an asynchronous relationship. The result? The richest and easiest to use web pages that exist today, period!
