Solution Engineering
When a new IT system is developed and deployed, there are always risks. Will the system meet its initial functional and performance specifications? Will it be able to scale smoothly to meet anticipated growth? Will it provide robust and reliable service? When HealthCare IT, Inc. clients want to launch a new system our goal is to control and eliminate these concerns through sound solution engineering principles. This requires a combination of skills in application software, middleware components, hardware components and systems, and networking. HealthCare IT, Inc. solution engineering services include:
Infrastructure Design and Engineering
This service produces a finished infrastructure design that will support the new IT solution. In the design, hardware (such as servers, storage, and networking) components, security infrastructure, network access, and bandwidth analysis are all included. We also offer customers the option for storage and server virtualization technologies in recommended designs.
Capacity and Scaling Analysis
This service provides an analysis of baseline capacity needs. We develop future growth projections and translate those into a system plan that maps the future trigger points and investments that will be needed. These trigger points in the context of a forecast will provide a grounding to investment plans, and also indicate when forecasted growth has been realized. Following this roadmap allows customers to know what steps are necessary to stay on track.
Middleware Component Design
The vast number of open source and commercial middleware technology suites create an overwhelming set of options that appear to provide comparable core function. In addition, each offers its own richly varied value added enhancements. Navigating the choices to arrive at a robust middleware foundation can be both time consuming and frustrating. HealthCare IT, Inc. assists our customers in making the most optimal choices regarding middleware when building a stable foundation. We track evolving sets of vendor-based and open source features and provide recommendations on which provide the best value for our customers. We educate our customers when a differentiating technology is transitioning to an emergent standard, which is the test of real value in the middleware arena. HealthCare IT, Inc. will compose middleware designs balancing cost and maintainability with the features and functions that both match customer needs and can adapt to company growth and expansion.
Solution Quality Assurance (Functional and Performance Testing)
HealthCare IT, Inc. offers performance testing services to our customers to ensure an implemented solution works as it was designed. Companies must conduct solution testing, which can be done either before release or by the users after. We devise and execute a quality assurance approach that fits enterprise cost and time constraints, and ensures that the solution delivers the functions and quality users need.
