In addition, TCS clients can continue to install and access ACUITY through local company servers.” ACUITY is a comprehensive and integrated care management software system for Utilization Management, Case Management, Disease Management, and Prevention/Wellness programs.
“Given the growing interest in Connectria’s hosting solutions and the emergence of cloud computing offerings in healthcare, the strategic alliance with TCS is well-timed,” remarks Connectria President and CEO, Rich Waidmann. “For TCS customers that want the benefits of cloud computing but do not want to run their virtual machines on a shared cloud infrastructure, Connectria is supporting ACUITY through its Private Cloud Computing solutions. TCS clients can use Connectria to help configure and host any TCS application on dedicated or shared servers to create a secure and high speed data connection anywhere in the world.”
Pock remarks “In addition to ACUITY, TCS also is supporting Acuity AnyWare™ through Connectria’s cloud hosting solution. Acuity AnyWare is a web-enabled case management software application specifically designed for independent professionals or small organizations, which is sponsored by the Case Management Society of America (CMSA).”
