Sagent delivers healthcare info solution

Johannesburg, 19 Apr 1999

Sagent Technology has announced that Pharmaceutical Care Network (PCN), a member of Sagent`s Enterprise Partner Programme, has delivered a powerful healthcare information solution using the newly announced Version 4.0 of Sagent Solution.

Sagent Solution Version 4.0 provides powerful data movement and analysis functionality for PCN`s MedIntelligence Analytical Guide, an advanced multidimensional online analytical processing (OLAP) tool that provides critical healthcare information to insurance companies, third-party administrators, self-funded employer groups, HMOs and other managed care organisations. PCN is leveraging Sagent`s new Web enterprise reporting capability, which can deliver information to thousands of users simultaneously in less than 30 seconds, for information distribution and analysis.

"Because the latest version of the Sagent Solution is specifically architected for high performance and scalability on the Web, we have great confidence that MedIntelligence customers can quickly access our databases and get the right information at the right time," says Mike Tucker, director of Information Systems at PCN.

PCN worked in partnership with Sagent, through Sagent`s OEM partner programme, to develop and deploy its MedIntelligence Analytical Guide. The Sagent Solution gives MedIntelligence users the ability to rapidly acquire and organise healthcare and benefits management information from either PCN`s data stores or from their own databases. Users can then tap into Sagent`s high-performance front-end Web access to conduct analysis and create reports to help them understand their businesses better.

"Sagent has been an excellent partner, providing support every step of the way in the development and deployment of our solution," continues Tucker. "Ultimately, Sagent has helped us provide our customers with immediate access to information they didn`t have before, and this has helped PCN distinguish itself as a superior provider of pharmacy benefit and information management services." Version 4.0 of the Sagent Solution is the first enterprise intelligence system architected specifically for high performance and scalability on the Web and the first to feature tight integration with leading technologies - such as Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 - for both front-end Web access and back-end data movement functions. The new product also offers new Web reporting capabilities that deliver enterprise intelligence reports to thousands of users faster than any other tool on the market.

"PCN, along with other leading vendors such as Siebel Systems, Automatic Data Processing (ADP), Ernst & Young, and USinternetworking are choosing to partner with Sagent because we provide a single-vendor, fully integrated solution in combination with one of the most comprehensive support programs on the market," says David Silver, VP of business development at Sagent. "Our partners experience rapid systems implementation, reduced training requirements and lower overall costs, which can drive much higher immediate revenue - as well as increased profits for the long term."

PCN is a member of Sagent`s newly announced partner programme. The Sagent Enterprise Partner Programme is a comprehensive programme dedicated to providing IT professionals and resellers worldwide product certification, training and sales and marketing support on Sagent Technology. The program is part of Sagent`s strategic channel initiative to deliver customers innovative solutions for their Web-based Intelligence Enterprise through a large partnership community. PCN is part of Sagent`s OEM programme, in which they can private label Sagent and receive product facilitation, a dedicated account manager, and sales and marketing support.
