MedicAlert Foundation

Stringent SOA practices.

MedicAlert Foundation, a Turlock, Calif., provider of medical information for the healthcare community, overhauled its data network, abandoning its FTP infrastructure in favor of a .Net and SOA framework. Started in April 2005, the project features AmberPoint's AmberPoint 5.0 for governance and security; Microsoft's BizTalk Server 2004 for process integration and as a rules engine; and Forum Systems' suite of security tools. MedicAlert has used the architecture to roll out its E-HealthKEY service, which lets users carry and manage their health information from a USB device.
