Facilitating remote configuration

A computer implemented method for facilitating remote configuration of a software instance in a laboratory enterprise network, wherein the laboratory enterprise network is communicably coupled to an in vitro diagnostics (IVD) network, wherein the IVD network comprises at least one in vitro diagnostic (IVD) instrument, wherein the method comprises:

• obtaining, by the software instance comprised in the laboratory enterprise network, a configuration identifier generated by a generator computing instance of a design enterprise network;
• transmitting the configuration identifier, by the software instance of the laboratory enterprise network, to a host that is communicably coupled to the design enterprise network and the laboratory enterprise network;
• receiving, from the host, a configuration object that is logically linked to the configuration identifier, wherein the configuration object comprises computer readable data which is interpretable by the software instance of the laboratory enterprise network that defines a configuration of the software instance of the laboratory enterprise network, and wherein the configuration object has been generated by the generator computing instance of the design enterprise network according to a configuration definition input defining configuration data for facilitating the configuration of the software instance of the laboratory enterprise network;
• configuring the software instance of the laboratory enterprise network according to the computer readable data of the configuration object;
• and
• operating the software instance.
