From Challenge to Result

A project that Integrated Technology, processes and people for a more efficient and reliable Operation.

01 · CHALLENGE
Distributed Critical Information
The Institution needed to centralize the Information from its Medical System with Finance, Accounting, Inventory, Procurement and Maintenance; the lack of a unified Platform generated inconsistencies in reports, slow response times and difficulties in decision-making.
02 · SOLUTION
JD Edwards on an Enterprise Architecture
  • Infodataserv led the Consulting, Design, Implementation, Validation and Training of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
  • On IBM Power 8 with AIX, integrated with the Medical System
  • Administrative Applications supported by a Virtualized Intel Environment with VMware ESXi
  • IBM Storage with 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel SAN
  • Cisco Networking 9500/9300/9200
03 · RESULT
An integrated Platform to operate and make better decisions
  • Medical and administrative Information was integrated into a single Platform
  • Timely and real-time Reports were made available
  • Internal and external response times were optimized
  • High-availability Architecture was implemented on Power + Intel
  • Finance, Inventory, Procurement and Maintenance teams were trained
