Accruing large amounts of data and the need for streamlined examination of that data—in terms of efficiency, analysis/recovery speeds, and accuracy—are increasingly in demand, especially in the healthcare field. The move from process-centric to data- and memory-centric computing is already having an impact on current computing trends. This change bodes a completely new approach to understanding data sets and will require new capabilities to perform fast, efficient data analysis. It will also mean new hardware and software resources that only the cloud can offer.
Recently, Symphony Corp., a global healthcare technology solutions provider, announced the expansion of its product offerings to include secure hosting for users of PeopleSoft. Symphony Hosting, a service that provides comprehensive business and industry solutions, reducing client costs associated with staffing. It also provides management of PeopleSoft enterprise solutions while eliminating the need for hardware investments. While a best-of-breed approach will be right for some enterprises, other organizations would do well to seek a single, multifaceted solution that can be centrally implemented, monitored and controlled for hosting needs such as Symphony's PeopleSoft Enterprise Hosting Solution.
According to Harry Mitlitsky, vice president of Madison, Wis.-based Symphony Corporation, "When a business runs PeopleSoft in house they typically need to invest in multiple pieces of hardware, supporting and monitoring software and the staff to administer their enterprise solution. With our hosted solution, clients not only eliminate these costs but also gain the peace of mind that their system is always available and functioning. “
“Many of our clients had expressed a need for information hosting after struggling to find the correct talent to support their system," said Mitlitsky. "Recognizing this need, we developed Symphony's hosting solution to offer companies large and small the infrastructure to support their software. Our clients benefit from our extensive experience in implementing, upgrading and supporting PeopleSoft applications with various enterprise requirements while always delivering a substantial cost savings."
Using Symphony's PeopleSoft Enterprise Hosting Solution, organizations can leverage their in-house identity infrastructure to securely access a range of services, including SaaS applications. They can utilize the service-based integration capabilities of applications like Symphony's platform to create secure data integration. And they can mediate and monitor information flows between their internal infrastructure and external services, something that’s particularly critical in the healthcare field.
"Our hosting clients have chosen us because they understand the long-term benefits of partnering with Symphony," said Tom Zydel, vice president of business development. "We provide a full spectrum solution from implementation to maintenance in a secure and efficient package."
