Why Choose Us?

OpenELIS is an open-source system which means there isn’t a license fee.  OpenELIS is supported by the OpenELIS Foundation staff and Iowa State Hygienic Laboratory Information Technology staff.  Prior versions of the system are supported, and clients are not charged a fee for upgrading to the newer version.
