The Challenge

Groups outside the hospital, such as the board of directors and specialized clinical groups, did not have access to its intranet portal. To serve them, the hospital IT staff had to create an extranet portal application for each user group as the need arose.

 

The Solution

Neudesic and Microsoft Technology Center architects gathered a range of requirements for the proposed portal, including everything from user functionality to data security. They presented their recommendations and an implementation plan to the hospital, which it used to successfully launch its new extranet portal.

The Benefit

  • Considerable time savings in both design and implementation of a custom extranet portal
  • A strong sense of partnership between Neudesic engineers and hospital staffers
  • The ability for doctors and researchers to easily share information and research with outside stakeholders and specialized clinical groups
