The Client
A recognized industry leader in
providing knowledge-driven,
end-to-end information solutions
to the healthcare industry in US
and Canada.
The Challenge
The client has a flagship product that enables patient clinical
recording and monitoring. It required this product to be migrated
to a web-based solution (.NET) to provide doctors the flexibility of
accessing patient information anywhere/anytime. Since .NET was
a nascent technology, the major challenge the client faced was to
get a pool of technically qualified .NET resources.
Patni was uniquely positioned to address the client's challenges
due to:

Its thought leadership in the area of .NET |
|
Proven delivery capability |
|
Proven technology capabilities which helped identify the
pros and cons of the solution at both the architectural
and technical levels. |
The Solution
Patni's solution was based on a proven methodology for execution of such projects. A
proof-of-concept approach was used, which was highly successful and resulted in more
projects for Patni.
The following summarizes the solution approach:
|

|
Creation of Web Prototypes/Proof-of-concepts to clearly define requirements |
|
Migrate/convert the existing applications to the .NET application |

application |
