Welcome To The Third
Edition of Praxatelligence...

In the last edition of Praxatelligence, I made reference to this Year of the Rat, which would be marked by speculation and fluctuations in commodity prices and the stock market. However the world economy in general would boom and business would be on the upswing.

Having said this we are witnessing a time when many companies want to take advantage of new IT technologies to move ahead. However in doing so, many are realising that there are issues with their existing legacy or IT infrastructure which is inhibiting the ease of evolvement/extension and is creating cost hurdles.

So while many companies are establishing quick wins with new dashboards and analytics with products like Xcelsius (find out what's new in Xcelsius below), it is also a time for some strategic planning, a time to take stock, re-design and alter the IT blueprint for the enterprise.

Please contact us if you have any questions in regards to our events, case study, product update and solutions below.

Kind Regards

MAJOR SYDNEY HEALTH SERVICE USES BI TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE

How does a key western Sydney health service, covering nine local government areas, provide better patient care? This is the challenge the Sydney West Area Health Service (SWAHS) faces as it tries to make sense, and act upon the masses of data generated from the millions of patient admissions and administration records where quick, accurate and timely information access and assessment could mean life or death. SWAHS uses business intelligence tools to improve its operation and provide critical patient care by bringing together disparate health care information across its vast constituency.
