Initial situation
Our client was divided into 6 sites, each operating its own IT infrastructure.
The support was very heavy and communication between the systems of the different sites very limited.
It was decided to replace the existing, obsolete integration product and to bring the different applications together in a common IT system.
Goal
The aim was to better integrate the heterogeneous systems of these 6 sites and to replace the existing integration product which was obsolete. This was to achieve better communication between the systems and to save support costs by reducing point-to-point connections.
The customer wanted a high-performance, future-proof integration solution with clearly defined support from the manufacturer. It was also important that he could make the changes himself.
Concept
Our client opted for Microsoft BizTalk Server as the centrepiece of the integration.
The publish/subscribe architecture of BizTalk Server greatly simplifies the integration of
heterogeneous systems. These systems communicate with BizTalk Server by means of adapters or standardised interfaces, such as web services.
In the healthcare sector, BizTalk Accelerator for HL7 provides a special adapter that supports the international HL7 communication standard and thus enables easy integration of common medical IT systems.
Result
- Cutting support costs in half: There is no longer any need to maintain countless point-to-point connections, just a central hub to which all the data from the various systems converge, where they are synchronised and then transferred.
- Fully automatic data synchronisation between the different systems and sites: The data from the different sites is constantly updated and available to the whole group. The synchronised database is the basis for the automation of processes and better patient care.
- Simple and cost-effective integration of heterogeneous systems by means of adapters or standard interfaces: All sites benefit from the same high-performance IT infrastructure and the outdated integration platform has been replaced.
- Efficient automation of business processes
- Simple configuration and quick adaptation to specific customer needs
- Sustainability: thanks to a reliable manufacturer with an extensive network of local partners
