Software as a Service Product

Access HeartPro Anywhere Anytime

Due to latest web technologies behind the HeartPro product platform, MedVoxel is in unique position to offer dual deployment option (on-site and hosted) of its MRI imaging products. Both, HeartPro Flow and HeartPro Chamber analysis software applications could be installed on-site, in hospital and imaging clinics’ data centers but also could be hosted at remote, MedVoxel servers as Software as a Service (SaaS) offering solution.

While on-site installation of medical applications is well known to healthcare providers (with all its pros and cons), SaaS approach is something completely new to healthcare industry.

Assuming that data privacy and security issues are properly addressed (MedVoxel will work with its clients on these important issues) the major benefits of SaaS application deployment are*:

  • Money Saving
    • Lower IT costs: When you subscribe to a SaaS application, you avoid the overhead associated with implementing conventional software.
    • Economies of scale : Subscription costs for SaaS applications reflect the economies of scale achieved by “multi-tenancy.”
    • Pay as you go: When you subscribe to a SaaS application, you pay a monthly or annual subscription fee.
  • Time Savings
    • Avoiding lengthy implementation means deployment time tends to be much shorter with a SaaS application than a traditional one.
  • Focus technology budgets on competitive advantage rather than infrastructure
    • When you subscribe to a web-hosted application, you free your organization from supporting high-cost, time consuming IT functions, including:
      • Purchasing and supporting the server infrastructure necessary to install and maintain the software in-house.
      • Providing the equipment redundancy and housing necessary to ensure security, reliability, and scalability.
      • Maintaining a labor-intensive patch and upgrade process.
  • Gain immediate access to the latest innovations
    • As soon as a new or improved feature appears in the application, you can begin using it.
  • There is “a convergence of interest between customer and vendor that’s more intimate than that expressed in the world of conventional on-premises applications.”
    • SaaS vendors constantly monitor how their customers are using the application.
    • Customers easily benchmark themselves against their peers.
