Promium and the Go DIRect Program eliminate red tape and assure that State agencies are purchasing high quality approved solutions.

Promium Element LIMS selected for Texas Go DIRect Program

BOTHELL, WA, May 11, 2009 - Promium, LLC is proud to announce participation in the Texas
Department of Information Resources Go DIRect Program. The Go DIRect Program allows eligible
DIR customers to purchase Element DataSystem laboratory information management software
directly from Promium.

The Go DIRect Program provides laboratories and other State agencies a more efficient method of purchasing products and services. With the Go DIRect Program, Texas State agencies and other organizations purchase items directly from a DIR-contracted vendor. Customers contact the vendor for product and pricing information. They also send their purchase orders, and payments directly to the Go DIRect vendor, not to DIR. This program streamlines the order process so customers receive their products and services quickly and efficiently.

"Promium is excited about the opportunity to join the State of Texas in making State Government more efficient and more effective," said Scot Cocanour, Promium CEO. "Because the Element DataSystem LIMS improves productivity and strengthens quality, the quicker a laboratory can purchase the software and get it implemented, the sooner the benefits are realized. Promium and the Go DIRect Program eliminate red tape and assure that State agencies are purchasing high quality approved solutions."
