Energizing Business Intelligence: Health Data Management Solutions Engages HP to Enhance its BI Platform
In the summer of 2004, HDMS began looking at alternatives to the Dell and Microsoft® Windows® platform, upon which they initially implemented DART. HDMS, a long-time SAS shop, had created its DART service on SAS and Futrix, an off-the-shelf BI suite built on an SAS foundation. One of the key objectives in its 2004 upgrade to the DART infrastructure was migration to SAS®9. This newest version of the SAS Intelligence Platform offers simplified user interfaces that make it easier for clients to perform queries against detailed health plan data.

Metro Health Gets a Better Prognosis with HP Server Blades, Integrity Servers, and StorageWorks
For Metropolitan Hospital (Metro Health) of Grand Rapids, Michigan, it all began with a rather ordinary requirement for additional space. In 2001, the community hospital had outgrown its landlocked 13-acre campus and was searching for a new location. Seizing the moment as an opportunity for change, the hospital's key stakeholders developed a vision for the future, thus giving birth to the concept of Metro Health Village — a digital village that promises to do much more than simply treat patients.

A Prescription for Growth
In order to drive better value for spending, the IT team at the New South Wales Health Department (NSW Health) plans to migrate their IT infrastructure to a shared services model using Intel® architecture–based servers that deliver industry-leading price/performance and scalability. To validate their capacity predictions, the IT staff asked consultants from Intel® Solution Services to conduct a pilot test, demonstrating the scalability of one application—Oracle Financials*—running on Intel architecture–based servers. The tests showed the Intel/Oracle platform achieving near-linear scalability, which gave the IT team the data it needed to accurately predict the capacity necessary to meet growth projections.

OpenEye Scientific Software: Drug Discovery - The Best in Class Tools for Competitive Advantage
The late 20th century technological and industrial efficiencies have resulted in an integrated global environment where R&D, manufacturing, distribution, finance, and sales can maximize regional efficiencies and productivity. This “tightly integrated global market” offers significant advantages to manufacturers of all types with an enormous customer base and a product development infrastructure which allows management teams to quickly adjust global resources based on market requirements and regional capabilities. Clearly, real-time worldwide asset management would not be possible without advanced technologies and, together with resource management opportunities, R&D and manufacturing organizations have the greatest potential for significant improvement in productivity. However, since this environment has taken the overall efficiency of global product development to a level of ultra-efficiency, great pressures have been placed on R&D teams to maximize their productivity.
