CGSL partners you through your journey of Healthcare Business Transformation (here after used as HBT). We are in the Alpha launch phase of an Integrated Healthcare Business Transformation solution that will help healthcare organizations improve patient care by streamlining the way they access, integrate, and share information. Built on the SAP Net Weaver platform, this solution will enable the industry to enhance quality of care while controlling healthcare costs.

The HBT solution will be based on SAP Net Weaver® and designed to help the industry enhance quality of care and control healthcare costs by providing an infrastructure which brings range of information and data on one platform. The solution will also help organizations to maintain reliable, accurate electronic health records that are accessible quickly across the globe. It will use an enterprise service-oriented architecture (Enterprise SOA) to help reduce IT costs and enable automated collaborative processes among industry participants - including healthcare providers, health insurance companies, public health authorities, pharmaceutical companies, physicians and patients.

Industry experts expect the global healthcare industry to continue on its path of rapid technological advances. Gartner research projects that with a 4.6% in IT spending, healthcare will lead all other industry sectors in the growth of information technology in 2008.

"Today, government-driven initiatives are underway to improve healthcare delivery through collaboration between providers, insurance payers, policy makers and pharmaceutical companies," Thomas Shirk, president, SAP Global Public Services.

HBT's are the highways on which healthcare information will flow in the future. We look forward to delivering a comprehensive healthcare translation solution, which integrates people, information, business processes, and technology standards to create collaboration beyond organizational boundaries.

This effort will utilize the CGSL Innovation Center for HBT, located at Hyderabad, India. The center leverages predefined development architecture templates, CGSL's skilled resources and close collaboration with Industry focus groups.
