Will anything change with regard to my interaction with LabArchives? The LabArchives team, as you know it, will continue to operate the business as it has been run for years. Your contacts at LabArchives will not change. 

LabArchives has made information security, service and support a major part of its product offering, will that change? LabArchives will be launching new server sites in the EU toward the end of this year. In addition, we will have been working on new information security standards and engaged more resources for these components of our product offering. 

What does this mean from an administrative  or contractual standpoint: Nothing changes. LabArchives LLC is the company you will continue to be engaged with. 

What does this mean for further product development at LabArchives? Insightful Science plans to invest heavily in the continued extraordinary growth of LabArchives so we can better serve our existing customers, expand our core products, and introduce new end-to-end workflow capabilities.
