Logicalis To Share Secrets To Success For SaaS And The Cloud With Healthcare ISVs At HIMSS 13

Technology Solution Provider Will Share Insights and Techniques to Help Healthcare Software Providers Understand How they Can Benefit from a SaaS and Cloud Model; Company will Exhibit in Booth 1851 at the HIMSS 13 Annual Conference & Exhibition, Ernest N. Memorial Convention Center, New Orleans

The talk at HIMSS this year will be the current and future state of health informatics and for many healthcare independent software vendors (ISVs), that includes a hard look at software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud-based delivery models. Logicalis, an international IT solutions and managed services provider (www.us.logicalis.com), will share its success in helping ISV customers develop and deliver SaaS-based versions of their software solutions for healthcare providers. HIMSS attendees are encouraged to visit Logicalis at booth 1851 or to contact Karen Burton, Healthcare Business Development Manager for Logicalis, at 251-605-7693 for additional information.

Logicalis has a long history serving the healthcare market which includes providing privacy and reliability in a secure cloud environment for critical healthcare functions and data. Several of the company’s healthcare ISV customers will also be exhibiting at the HIMSS show and demonstrating how the cloud supports and extends the capability of their healthcare applications.

API Healthcare in the Cloud
API Healthcare is an ISV that offers a comprehensive workforce management solution to healthcare organizations of all sizes. Its product line includes everything from a touch-screen badge reader for employee self-service to business analytics that help departments effectively manage the complex staffing requirements of their organizations. API Healthcare now offers a cloud option for all of its solutions. “Solutions in the cloud are a definite trend with our client base. Health systems are finding that, instead of keeping the solutions in-house, it makes solid fiscal sense to move to a managed format. Logicalis helped pave the way for API Healthcare to be on the leading edge of this trend,” says Bryan Dickerson, vice president of Innovation, API Healthcare.

Health Care DataWorks
Health Care DataWorks (HCD) is a leading provider of business intelligence solutions for healthcare organizations. Its pioneering KnowledgeEdge™ product suite is an enterprise data warehouse that includes a robust data model along with pre-built analytic dashboards, applications and reports, and provides health systems the analytics they need to provide insights into their operations and help them become more effective and efficient. The KnowlegeEdge solution is delivered as a standalone offering installed in a customer’s data center and remotely monitored and managed by Logicalis or as software as a service (SaaS) hosted on the Logicalis Enterprise Cloud (LEC) platform. “[Logicalis] lets us focus on what we’re good at, and they take care the infrastructure layer,” says Mike Ostrander, Chief Technology Officer, Health Care DataWorks.

“As a healthcare solution provider, an award winning cloud consultant, and an expert in private, public and hybrid cloud deployment, Logicalis and our ISV customers are re-imagining how healthcare informatics are able to impact the healthcare system, “ says Burton.
