Convergence CT, a provider of data warehousing solutions and analytics to medical and life sciences organizations, has announced support for IBMÆs new Dynamic Warehousing strategy.
Convergence CT offers highly secure, HIPAA-compliant, clinical patient data warehouses and analytics. Emphasizing the "convergence" of rich clinical data with advanced information technology and analysis, Convergence CT is able to offer an innovative approach to accelerating medical research, clinical development, and departmental analysis, the company says. This approach enhances and improves the ability of healthcare and life science organizations to use patient-level data for research, clinical trial planning and recruitment, and improving the quality and efficiency of healthcare services. Convergence CTÆs solutions offer improved efficiencies for hospital and ambulatory data management and research for global markets, the company says.
"We very much value the business partnership we have with IBM. Our goal is to deliver complete solutions that help our clients achieve competitive advantage, expand revenue streams, improve operational efficiencies, reduce costs, and ultimately save lives," said former Hawaii Gov. George Ariyoshi, chairman of Convergence CT. "With this announcement, we fulfill that goal by offering world-class solutions backed by two industry leaders: IBM and Convergence CT. The combining of talents and technologies from these two companies is a win-win scenario for IBM, Convergence CT, and for our clients."
IBMÆs new Dynamic Warehousing strategy enables customers to use advanced analytics as part of a real-time business process and to unlock knowledge buried in both structured and unstructured information (free form text, e-mail, audio files, Web pages, etc.). This approach will also provide instant access to reliable and trusted business information in the context of activities being performed, whether it is supporting a customer, processing a claim, or handling a transaction.
"The increasing volume of raw data facing businesses is beginning to have an impact on how quickly they can respond to customer needs," said Ray Edwards, worldwide channel sales lead for IBM BI and data warehousing. "Dynamic Warehousing allows us to team with our valued partners including Convergence CT, and provide customers with the ability to analyze all of their data and provide the right information to the right people in a timely manner."
"To support the clinical data warehouse solutions that Convergence CT provides healthcare, medical groups, and life sciences organizations across the globe, we were looking for an exceptionally flexible warehouse platform that could handle the hundreds of terabytes of longitudinal patient data that we deal with," said Lambert Onuma, president and CEO, Convergence CT.
"Scalability and reliability was paramount in our choice. We selected IBMÆs D5000 BCU, a fully-integrated and scalable data warehouse solution that combines software, server, and storage resources to maximize business intelligence and information management performance for enterprises."
Convergence CT also offers data management and data analysis services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies as well as healthcare provider organizations.
