Metro Health Replaces SeeBeyond Software

Cambridge, Mass.=97February 14, 2005 =97 InterSystems Corporation today =
announced that Metropolitan Health Corporation (Metro Health) has =

integration projects. Ensemble will replace the SeeBeyond eGate =

The leading application platform provider in healthcare, InterSystems =
develops and markets the CACH=C9 post-relational database and the =
Ensemble universal integration platform. Metro Health is an integrated =
delivery network that includes Metropolitan Hospital, physician =
organizations, outpatient centers, managed care services and serves a =
growing patient base in the Grand Rapids, Mich. area.=20
New Capabilities Supplant Legacy Infrastructure
Requirements for rapid integration, sophisticated, end-to-end management =
capabilities, and a=20
real-time message warehouse drove the move to Ensemble, according to =
Gary VanderHeiden, Manager of IT at Metropolitan Hospital. "Our =
interface specialists say Ensemble enables nearly three times faster =
interface development than the SeeBeyond products and provides message =
persistence which is lacking in eGate" said VanderHeiden. Ensemble =
processes messages over 200 percent faster while providing nearly =
effortless FIFO setup as compared to eGate.
The first phase of the Ensemble project, which involves integrating =
eight applications including the healthcare organization's McKesson STAR =
hospital information system (HIS) to enable
back-end information via more than a dozen HL-7 interfaces is scheduled =
to go live in late February. Integration of a total of 25 systems with =
about 65 different interfaces is projected to be complete=20
in 2Q05.
Future Ensemble Projects
With the completion of the SeeBeyond replacement, Metro Health will =
leverage Ensemble features for other new initiatives. "We have the same =
overall requirements as those of the largest urban integrated healthcare =
network," VanderHeiden noted. Deploying a management portal to view =
transaction processing in real-time is next on the agenda. Using =
Ensemble=92s Business Activity Monitoring framework, the Metro Health =
support specialists can identify bottlenecks and quickly eliminate them. =
"Ensemble=92s visual trace tools and integrated object database will =
make it easy to determine when and why a record from any of the =
integrated data sources didn=92t reach its appropriate destination," =
VanderHeiden said. "This can be done dynamically in real-time, which is =
a major improvement over the logs typically provided by other =
integration products. Instead of a cumbersome,=20
time-consuming manual search, problems can be identified and resolved =
very quickly. Ensemble=92s ability to provide rapid integration was =
critical to our integration platform choice."
"Metro Health=92s integration requirements are characteristic of what we =
are hearing from our other customers and prospects in the healthcare =
sector," said Trevor Matz, InterSystems Managing Director, Ensemble. =
"Healthcare organizations of all sizes are no longer willing to settle =
for legacy integration approaches. They are looking for the rapid =
development, integration and deployment that is uniquely supported by =
Ensemble=92s design and architecture. We=92re extremely pleased to be =
working with Metro Health to help achieve integration success across the =
enterprise."
