L7 Informatics, Inc. is an Austin, Texas-based American enterprise software company that develops digital platforms and solutions for healthcare and life sciences organizations.
Rather than providing discrete laboratory point solutions, the company designed L7|ESP® (Enterprise Science Platform) as a unified, composable platform capable of managing data and workflows across the entire value chain.
Since its inception, L7|ESP® has expanded its range of capabilities to include laboratory information management, electronic laboratory notebooks, manufacturing execution, and workflow orchestration, enabling organizations to centralize operations and ensure regulatory compliance.
The life sciences field increasingly requires platforms that can unify research, development, clinical testing, and manufacturing operations within a single framework. L7 Informatics responded to this demand by continuing to enhance L7|ESP® to support laboratory management as well as broader enterprise functions.
Mark L. Spencer is the President and Chief Executive Officer of L7 Informatics. Spencer has represented the company at industry events and panel discussions, where he has spoken on topics like digital transformation, data orchestration, and artificial intelligence readiness within the life sciences.
The company offers L7|ESP®, a digital unified platform designed for life sciences organizations. The platform offers multiple capabilities, allowing organizations to manage data, workflows, and compliance within a single environment.
Key components of the platform include:
· Laboratory Information Management Systems (L7 LIMS): Tools for sample and workflow administration.
· Electronic Laboratory Notebooks / ELNs (L7 Notebooks): Digital solutions for computerized recording, data sharing, and collaboration among researchers.
· Manufacturing Execution Systems (L7 MES): Supports cell and gene therapy manufacturing and broader biomanufacturing processes.
