  • Transforming Healthcare Infrastructure Through Cloud & Virtualization Solutions Aug 7 2013 4:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Healthcare providers have focused much of their IT investments in recent years on EMR implementations and meeting Meaningful Use requirements, but these are only the first in a long list of upcoming IT initiatives that healthcare providers must manage in the immediate future. With the shift towards Accountable Care Organizations and collaborative care models, supporting the transformation of care delivery requires the transformation of IT infrastructure. In this transformation, Frost & Sullivan believes that virtualization and cloud infrastructure will play key roles in the enablement of anytime, anywhere, always available access to clinical applications that is required to deliver quality care in the current and future healthcare environment.

    The explosion of data in healthcare and the need to rapidly and flexibly increase access to data stored across the continuum of care, combined with the need to reduce capital expenditures and IT headcount focused on data storage, make healthcare a market ripe for cloud solutions. Traditional hurdles remain in addressing concerns regarding data control and security, issues of crucial importance to healthcare stakeholders. New alignments of providers across organizations and the requirement to support mobility are pushing healthcare organizations toward desktop virtualization.

    Join us to discuss how these IT solutions are key to the transformation of healthcare delivery, and why the healthcare sector today is likely to reverse the trend of being late to the party in adopting new IT solutions.

  • Compliance Exclusive: What Healthcare Can Teach Business about the Cloud Jun 6 2013 6:00 pm UTC 55 mins
    Few industries are exposed to the kind of regulation rigor that exists today in healthcare. HIPAA places tight regulations on electronic patient health information (ePHI), and as more data is digitally managed, providers have experience increasing costs and risks associated with ePHI management. The emergence of community clouds in the healthcare industry have provided a more sustainable and scalable model . With consumers demanding greater responsiveness and transparency from their providers and suppliers, there is much that businesses in other sectors can learn from the success of healthcare community clouds. We will showcase a case study of King’s Daughters Medical as an example of one company’s experience and the value they have realized.

    Join this webinar to:
    - Discover the risks, vulnerabilities, and challenges facing providers who must be HIPAA-compliant.
    - Learn the role that secure, cloud-based computing can play in helping healthcare organizations.

  • How IT and Developers Can Join Forces to Innovate in the Cloud Jun 6 2013 4:00 pm UTC 55 mins
    Developers have gained considerable power within companies and are now making key architectural decisions like the programing language(s), platform (OS), middleware as well as how data is stored. Given that it is the developer’s software that drives business advantage, it comes as no surprise that they have become the respected partners of the business, perhaps at the expense of central IT, in leading the company’s defacto cloud strategy. However, in order to really drive the scale of innovation that provides a sustainable competitive advantage – developers and business leaders cannot go it alone, they must work together with IT. While the goals of developers and IT operations often seem at odds, organizations must seek to reduce these conflicts or risk impeding the pace of innovation. Join this session to discover how understanding the needs of each side and leveraging the processes, tools and procedures that underlie “DevOps,” will enable both teams to work together to better serve the business and ultimately the customer.

    In this session you will learn about:
    - How developers rose to power
    - The key principles, tools and procedures of DevOps
    - How working together helps reduces friction, increases velocity and improves customer outcomes
    - How developers, IT and business can work together to implement and drive innovation through the Cloud

  • How to Integrate with the Cloud Recorded: Apr 18 2013 34 mins
    When businesses decide to go to the cloud for an enterprise application and open an account with Salesforce.com or some other SaaS (software as a service) provider, they typically don't consider how that SaaS app will integrate with their existing software. Indeed, without a solid integration strategy, data quality quickly becomes a problem. You don't want a new SaaS system to be hindered by having to enter data twice -- or worse, by not having the correct data available when a core business process requires it.

    So how do enterprises that adopt SaaS applications develop an effective approach to integration? As always, the process begins with business requirements. The good news is that new, innovative integration technologies offer cost efficiencies unavailable just a few years ago -- although in some cases, requirements dictate that you opt for an old-school integration solution. However, finding and implementing that technology is not as easy as many thought.

    In this webinar, we’ll take the mystery out of understanding, building, and implementing integration solutions for cloud-based systems. We’ll walk those attending through a step-by-step process, which will guarantee success.

    Topics covered include:
    - Understanding your own cloud integration requirements.
    - The basics of cloud integration, including approaches and architectures.
    - Selecting the right integration solutions.
    - Understanding security, governance, and data quality
