Abstract
The growing complexity of computing environments requires creative solutions to prevent the gain in productivity promised by computing advances from being swallowed up by the necessity of moving information from one environment to another. LabLink is an interfacing tool for accomplishing such transfers in a clinical laboratory environment. It handles the automated data transfer among four systems, as well as providing substantial back-up capacity for critical operations when systems are down for saves or maintenance.
