LONDON: MedeAnalytics customers, including Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA), which represents the National Health Service (NHS) and healthcare finance professionals across the UK, will now have access to analytics solutions from Savvis for improving operational and clinical performance of their businesses.

Savvis, a player in outsourced managed computing and network infrastructure for IT applications, has announced an agreement to provide managed IT infrastructure services to MedeAnalytics, a healthcare performance analytics company.

MedeAnalytics provides on-demand business intelligence for the healthcare sector, with more than 700 healthcare organizations in its network. Under the terms of the agreement, Savvis is providing MedeAnalytics with managed IT infrastructure services delivered from one of its ISO 27001 certified hosting facilities in the UK. The solution includes virtualized utility services consisting of managed compute and storage, managed network as well as managed security that features threat management services, intrusion detection systems and virtualized firewalls.

The Savvis solution underpins MedeAnalytics’ SaaS delivery model  and as MedeAnalytics’ network of healthcare customers continues to expand, Savvis’ global footprint of 28 data centers can scale to provide extra capacity the company needs to meet the increasing demand for SaaS, says a press release.

MedeAnalytics recently underwent significant expansion in the UK, which required the company to quickly develop and deploy a locally-based, managed IT infrastructure services solution to support its expanding SaaS business model. Without an in-house IT team in the UK to handle the IT infrastructure needs and also its business and clients, MedeAnalytics selected Savvis to build and deliver an outsourced IT infrastructure solution in a very short timeframe.

“With more and more customers joining the MedeAnalytics community, we needed to ensure we could quickly deploy our SaaS platform to stay ahead in the UK,” said David Watson, Senior Vice President, Chief Information & Technology Officer. “After evaluating a number of options, we selected Savvis based on the strong reputation of its SaaS-enabling IT infrastructure

For hospitals and health systems, MedeAnalytics provides solutions to address revenue cycle, patient access, clinical operations, staff productivity, regulatory compliance, finance and accounting, and enterprise performance management. It delivers business intelligence to over 700 healthcare organizations using a hosted, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model.
