The acquisition was the result of a comprehensive evaluation and selection process in which many investigators, committee members, animal facility managers, veterinarians, animal health technicians, administrators and information technology experts participated. We are confident that the software will meet our animal care program and Faculty/Research Institute’s requirements as delivered, and as such, our objective is to implement the software across the program to better serve our community.
