9Hosted 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
10Product 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
11Product 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

occur, all fixed in Premiere 2.12 increment 2, GA

20Individual Questions on Satisfaction Survey
21Your 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.
