<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:HelveticaNeue">Thanks to everyone for the robust response to my inquiry. As expected, the scope of variables that need be addressed is only matched by the breadth of pespective on the best approach
to do so. Part of the challenge we face, which I failed to mention in my initial message, stems from the fact that we house 6 different shared faciltiis at CNSI that range from optical/electron/scanning probe microscopy to cleanroom operations and high-throughput
screening. We currently use a single LMS solution for all these labs as there is extensive overlap in the user base of each, with a total of over 5000 active accounts and 1000 unique users per year. Nevertheless, I greatly aprpeciate all the information provided
by this channel and will be reaching out to those of you who have provided specific feedback of interest.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">We are in the process of reviewing our approach to managing reservations, access, billing, etc. for equipment throughout the CNSI at UCLA. To date, we have relied on a system developed
in-house that is no longer viable. There is a significant push amongst the shared resources on campus toward iLabs. We have also begun looking into FOM (fomnetworks.com) as an alternative option. I know this may not be the best venue for a dialogue on the
strengths/weaknesses of these specific solutions (or any other for that matter), but if any of you are willing to share your perspectives or experiences working with either of these vendors it would be greatly appreciated.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
