The Rhapsody 10 Day Challenge: Replace Existing Integration Engines For More Streamlined Data Integration; Orion Systems International Offers Affordable Integration.Business Editors/Medical & Technology Writers BIOWIRE2K HIMSS HIMSS Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society 2003 Annual Conference LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 21, 2003 Orion Systems International, a leading provider of application integration tools, today announced the launch of the Rhapsody (1) A subscription-based online music service from RealNetworks that gives users unlimited access to a vast library of major and independent label music. Within a single interface, Rhapsody provides access to streaming music, Internet radio and extensive music information and (TM) 10 Day Challenge, a campaign that undertakes to replace a hospital's existing integration engine in 10 days or less. Because Orion believes that all companies should have access to affordable integration, if the conversion takes longer than the 10 Day Challenge, Orion will absorb the extra days at no cost to the customer. As CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Ian McCrae explains, "In the past, many hospitals have been burned by exorbitant consultancy and support fees -- which have blown out the overall price to double (or sometimes triple) that of the interface engine itself. This is perhaps not surprising, considering our competitors usually take months to successfully convert interface engines. With Rhapsody(TM) you know that you have an absolute ceiling, above which costs cannot rise. And what's more, this 'ceiling' is a lot lower than you might think." Health Network Laboratories (HNL HNL In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Honduran Lempira. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. ) of Allentown, Pennsylvania, took the 10 Day Challenge and upgraded to Rhapsody(TM) in less than ten days. This included the design and implementation of HNL's current messaging routes within the Rhapsody(TM) system -- making use of the intuitive user interface and powerful messaging tools that are an integral part of the Rhapsody(TM) engine. Rhapsody's testing tools allowed HNL to test the new configuration as it was created, reducing the time and effort required to perform complete testing at the end of the installation. Furthermore, Rhapsody's ability to store its configuration to a single file simplified the migration from a test environment to a production environment. This quick migration feature is one of the main reasons it can be installed so rapidly. Jane Erdman, CIO CIO: see American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations. (Chief Information Officer) The executive officer in charge of information processing in an organization. of HNL, says, "We're impressed with all aspects of Rhapsody's operations; I'd particularly like to highlight how quickly the implementation process was completed, and the short amount of time it took to train staff. We fully expect that Rhapsody(TM) will handle all our complex interfacing requirements." By upgrading to the latest technology used in Rhapsody, companies like HNL are realizing increased productivity, decreased maintenance of old systems, and substantial savings to the bottom line. However, the high cost of integration engines and the lack of good customer support has created significant challenges for many other organizations seeking to streamline data and messaging functions. Rhapsody provides a cost-effective integration engine with tools that are easier to use and are fully backed up by Orion's customer support team.
