Hosted Solutions - Virtualisation
  • As shown this morning, iSOFT will be providing a
    hosted solution to meet GPSoC level 4 using
    virtualisation
  • The benefits of this to the Practice are
  • The practice runs the same software they are
    already familiar with
  • You own the Virtual Server and the Database, it
    is not shared
  • No restriction on what is done on the Virtual
    Server, reports can be at any time, if more
    resources are needed the load balancing software
    provides it.
  • Local summary of patient record in case of N3
    failure.
  • Uses Citrix Metaframe Presentation of what is
    happening on the server, so there is not large
    amounts of data transferring between site and
    data centre, thus reducing the bandwidth
    requirements
  • No requirement to be on iSOFTs network, the
    Practice can stay on there own network and just
    open up the Citrix client through NHSNet
  • All technology refreshes, back ups and upgrades
    managed and delivered as part of the service
  • No Data Migration for current iSOFT sites, known
    migration path that is tried and tested for
    non-iSOFT sites

Product News - Quality
  • We have aligned our software engineering methods
    (prior to GPSoC) to comply with the CfH Common
    Assurance Process GP (CAP-GP) as we believe it
    will enhance our ability to deliver improved
    quality software
  • Premiere has recently successfully completed a
    full and comprehensive clinical safety review and
    a review of Synergy is currently in progress
  • We have recently made a significant investment in
    third party automated software testing tools to
    enhance our existing in house tools and manual
    testing processes
  • Working towards ISO20001 Certification
  • A new standard automated software update service
    for all types of releases is being introduced
  • Currently in test
  • Planned to be incremental rather than a full
    package install
  • It will reduce the Practice system administration
    burden
  • It will ensure critical updates are applied more
    quickly

11
Product News Major changes
  • In addition to the enhancements we are making to
    the functionality of our product, there are some
    major changes in the pipeline
  • For Synergy 1.9 and Premiere 2.13, due in

Premiere Data Issue An Update
  • In January 2007 we sent out a communication to
    all Premiere customers alerting them to a data
    issue in Premiere
  • This was accompanied by a utility to repair data
    and place notifications in the patient record
    where data was compromised
  • 14 faults discovered where data issues could
    occur, all fixed in Premiere 2.12 increment 2, GA
    expected Jan 08

Individual Questions on Satisfaction Survey

Your Comments on the Survey
  • I feel I must congratulate Isoft when you changed
    the way you answer support calls. I have just had
    the most helpful and efficient service on a
    query, dealt with and sorted by the engineer
    without delay. Thank you.
  • Much better being able to discuss the problem
    directly with the support staff/engineer, rather
    than explaining it to a support desk person who
    has no knowledge of the system/product/software
  • This is the first time I have recd such swift
    resolution to a problem, for which I am extremely
    grateful
  • I was amazed with the superb service we got, I am
    just amazed how much better I-soft are nowadays!
  • I have to say that I am somewhat impressed by the
    new Call system for logging incidents. The other
    day I phoned concerning a Pathology /Registration
    problem and the Support Consultant dealt with it
    there and then. Very courteous and knowledgeable.
