FOCUS AREA
Challenge, approach, and impact
Developing an ELN that not only provided efficient and structured data recording but also offered flexibility for various research fields.
Background and Vision:
L7 Informatics' ambition to revolutionize laboratory data management led to the idea of an integrated Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) within their Enterprise Science Platform (ESP). Code Poets, with its rich background in software solutions for the life sciences, stepped up to develop an ELN module that was not just a digital record-keeping tool but a transformative element in laboratory data management.
In-Depth Challenge:
The task was multifaceted – developing an ELN that not only provided efficient and structured data recording but also offered flexibility for various research fields. The ELN had to support collaborative work, ensure data integrity, and integrate seamlessly with existing ESP functionalities. This project's complexity lies in balancing user-friendliness with advanced technical features.

“BACKGROUND Please describe your company and your position there. As Senior Director of Engineering at L7 Informatics, a fast-growing life sciences enterprise software company, I am responsible for providing the engineering and engineering support teams with everything they need to keep up a furious momentum, including additional staffing resources. OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE For what projects/services did your company hire Code Poets? Planned expansion and maturity of our software suite required fast expansion of our team, and because we prefer to pepper our team with resources that have experience in our customers areas of operation (biotech, manufacturing, etc.) often finding ideal resources is a huge challenge. What were your goals for this project? This is very much a staff augmentation engagement rather than a 'project'. Our goals were to find talented resources that could work well with our US-based staff. We were open to a workable timezone delta even with its potential challenges and merits. SOLUTION How did you select Code Poets? CodePoets and our CEO crossed paths in early 2020, and with our strong preference for resources with experience in our customers' areas of operation (biotech, life science, manufacturing, etc.). CodePoets' focus on tech and science sounded like a good fit, so we kept them in mind in case we had a need for staff augmentation. Mid-year we developed that need so we gave them a ring. Describe the project in detail. Again, this isn't a project but staff augmentation in support of a product suite and implementations with many wide scopes. What was the team composition? We started with a couple of very strong resources who hit the ground running and produced solid results quickly with minimal training. They have been stellar at taking assignments and parsing them, asking excellent questions, and producing excellent work. We've since expanded our team at CodePoets and expect to continue doing so. RESULTS & FEEDBACK Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? I would assert that the fact that we've continued to expand our team with CodePoets on a pretty regular cadence since starting with them is pretty good evidence of progress and success. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? Active communications and jira-centric workflow between L7 and the CodePoets resources can only be as effective as L7 enables, and the CodePoets resources have been very proactive in their communications and very understanding of our need for them to work relatively independently at times. What did you find most impressive about this company? CodePoets had and has found excellent and appropriate resources for us, all of whom have been talented, reliable, responsive, and nimble. Are there any areas for improvement? To date I have no complaints.“ Read more
