Implementation guide

The Scifeon Guided Adoption Model.

Digital transformation shouldn't mean forcing your lab into someone else's system. Scifeon's implementation model operationalizes and protects what makes your lab distinctive — a guided, iterative process where the platform evolves together with your team. That collaborative learning reduces implementation risk and leads to faster adoption in daily lab work.

The model

Five stages, delivered together.

Scifeon is a partner that guides your laboratory through successful digital transformation — not a vendor that hands over software and walks away.

Stage 1

Workflow analysis

We start by understanding how your lab actually works — mapping workflows, master data, instruments, methods, and result types against your real scientific process before any configuration begins.

Stage 2

Collaborative configuration & training

Scifeon consultants configure the platform alongside your team and train your people as they go. Super users learn by building the system they'll use, capturing know-how directly in practice.

Stage 3

Iterative refinement

The system evolves with the lab. Short feedback loops let you refine forms, workflows, and automations against real data and daily use — surfacing the right questions early instead of at go-live.

Stage 4

Validation & standardisation

Once workflows are proven, we standardise and validate them — establishing the traceability and controls needed for GMP and 21 CFR Part 11 environments, ready for audit.

Stage 5

Operational adoption & go-live

Go-live is a change-management milestone, not a switch-flip. With ambassadors, super users, and a clear communication plan in place, the system is already embedded in how your lab works.

Analysis · what we gather

The inputs that shape your system.

A focused discovery phase gives us everything needed to configure Scifeon around your lab — no generic templates.

Process

How work moves through your lab.

  • Workflows and hand-offs
  • Methods and analysis protocols
  • Result types and acceptance criteria

Data & instruments

What the system must hold and connect.

  • Master data
  • Instrument list and integrations
  • Representative example data

People & priorities

Who is involved and what comes first.

  • Roles and contributions
  • Automation priorities
  • Instrument integration priorities
Stakeholders & roles

A shared team, not a hand-off.

Successful adoption depends on the right people on both sides. These roles carry the project from analysis to operation.

Benefits owner / sponsor

Owns the vision and goals — accountable for the outcomes the project is meant to deliver.

Ambassador

Champions the change inside the lab, keeps momentum, and represents day-to-day users.

Super users

Learn the system deeply during configuration and become the in-house experts who support colleagues.

Scifeon consultants

Understand laboratory processes, ask the right questions, and train and guide your staff in adopting digital tools.

Change management

Best practices we build in.

Digitalizing a lab is as much about people as software. Our process is grounded in proven change-management practice.

Define a clear vision and strategic objectives

Everyone understands what the transformation is for and what success looks like.

Involve stakeholders early

The people who'll use the system help shape it from the start, not at the end.

Build a dedicated change team

A named group — sponsor, ambassador, super users — owns the rollout and keeps it moving.

Develop a communication plan

Clear, consistent communication keeps the lab informed and reduces resistance to change.

Offer role-based training and continuous support

Training is matched to each role, with ongoing support well beyond go-live.

Monitor, evaluate, and adjust

We measure adoption and outcomes, then refine — the system keeps improving in operation.

Where it starts

The Guided Adoption Model, delivered as a 90-day pilot.

SAPPA is how the model begins: a structured pilot that brings your real lab processes live in 90 days using your data, devices, and SOPs. From there, the next phase extends the system — deeper customization, business-process reengineering, and internal sharing across teams.
