[labnetwork] Feedback on Transition to iLab from FOM

[Abelev, Esta]

Dear Colleagues,
A few years ago, Pitt implemented iLab as a platform for managing university shared user facilities. Our time to transition has now come, and we are currently preparing to implement iLab in both our cleanroom and characterization facilities, which have previously operated on FOM.
As we continue to evaluate iLab, we are finding that some key features available in FOM are lacking in iLab, which may make our operations more complex and, in some cases, more manual.
I wanted to ask whether any of you have been in a similar situation—specifically, being asked to transition to iLab—and whether you were able to address these challenges or provide feedback to your administration. Any insights or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.
Please feel free to reply directly.
Best regards,  Esta
