MediSolution Ltd. announced the availability of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) products and services specifically designed for Healthcare and Service sector organizations. The extensive offering includes architecture and design consulting services, integration and orchestration services, and pre-built Web Services leveraging rich business functionality in MediSolution products including its Virtuo Financial Management Suite, Electronic Health Record Suite, EMPI patient search product and.NET based Virtuo Payroll Solution. The company also announced that most new MediSolution applications and major enhancements to existing applications will be designed and developed based on SOA and the use of Web services.

SOA models involve business functionality decomposed into discrete components called "services", which can be distributed over a network and then be combined and re-used to create complete business applications. Using MediSolution's SOA's building block approach, customers can use Web services to build best-of-breed applications, orchestrate business processes, greatly improve integration between existing applications, manage enterprise information more quickly and cost-effectively than through traditional application development approaches, while decreasing overall operations and maintenance costs.

MediSolution's comprehensive SOA offering includes:

• SOA Products
• SOA Integration Services
• SOA Consulting Services

MediSolution's SOA solutions are designed to enable complete interoperability between MediSolution software solutions, third-party applications and customer's in-house applications.

"SOA is the perfect solution for Healthcare and Service sector clients who are looking to improve IT efficiency, optimize resource utilization and lower operations and maintenance costs," said Luc Gagnon, SVP Development and Operations at MediSolution. "By wrapping existing applications with Web services functionality, making them SOA-compliant, our clients can leverage the investments they have already made in mission critical software without rewriting or replacing their legacy applications."
