The Challenge
Panviva, a leading provider of Business Process Guidance software, was facing challenges with its legacy product, SupportPoint. The evolution of SupportPoint was hampered by legacy product architecture constraints that disrupted new development. The on-premises technology wasn't evolving as fast as it could, with SupportPoint caught in a loop of incremental development and bug fixes that customers found costly to deploy. Panviva needed to create an innovative product roadmap that leveraged future-proof technologies to enable rapid development and integrations in a SaaS delivery model. The primary challenge with its legacy software was the complexity around re-developing the software for genuine cloud compatibility and deployment, while also designing for scalability and multifaceted integration.
About The Customer
Panviva is the world's leading provider of Business Process Guidance software. More than 100,000 global users in banking, health insurance, telecommunications, utilities, manufacturing, and government use Panviva's software solution, SupportPoint, to navigate users step-by-step, in real-time, through even the most complicated business processes. Unlike other solutions on the market, SupportPoint's guidance is role-specific and context aware so the system only provides information that is relevant to the user and their role. Like a GPS, it knows exactly what they are doing and where they are in a process, responding with fast, accurate and actionable instructions to achieve the process goal. SupportPoint is viewed as a 'must have', critical application for its ability to lower costs, drive productivity, eliminate errors and improve the customer and employee experience.
The Solution
Panviva partnered with MuleSoft to modernize and enhance SupportPoint without diminishing the strength or value of its successful technology. On the foundation of Anypoint Platform, which became part of SupportPoint's middleware, SupportPoint gained a modernized architecture designed for today and tomorrow's integration, flexibility and scalability standards, while maintaining full compatibility with legacy code and features. That existing legacy code became a module that Anypoint Platform could integrate and use as a launch point for larger-scale external integrations. With architecture and integration partner Sixtree, Panviva also modularized SupportPoint so that key application components could be independently scaled and modified. The Anypoint Platform is integral to SupportPoint Cloud. The new API platform allowed Panviva to confidently and successfully market SupportPoint to both prospects and partners on the basis of exceptional interoperability and rapid development using advanced built-in tools.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
