BMI Healthcare Invests in Hybrid Cloud Solution

“IBM App Connect Enterprise is a massive step forward from our previous integration product, giving us the opportunity to move integration into the Cloud. Prolifics’ expertise gave us an optimal solution and they ensured the project remained on track.”

Background

BMI Healthcare is one of the largest private hospital operators in the UK. It employs more than 6,500 consultant specialists and receives nearly 2 million patient visits every year. More than 95% of patients rate BMI’s overall quality of care as very good or excellent.

The company needed to further modernise its integration platform, to drive business agility and leverage Cloud-based applications for the benefit of patients and staff.

The Solution

Starting with a clear set of objectives, BMI chose IBM’s Integration Bus (IIB) as a modern, stable and flexible integration platform.

Prolifics worked with BMI to move its integration into the Cloud, ensuring that data can be accessed securely and efficiently.

In choosing Prolifics, BMI sought to gain maximum value for its investment in new IBM products. This enabled the organisation to drive development in e-commerce and extend its service-orientated architecture.

The Result

The exceptional performance and reliability of IIB has brought enhanced efficiency and increased revenues for BMI. The development of integrated mobile apps and extended use of electronic records are driving improvements in the patient experience.

The introduction of its Cloud-based SAT oncology software has helped BMI to grow its business in the field of cancer services. The company was a finalist for an IT innovation award.

By sharing its knowledge with BMI staff, Prolifics helped to deliver maximum value from the investment in IIB and equip the company to be fully self-sufficient.
