Perficient,
Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT), a leading information technology consulting
firm serving Global 2000 and other large enterprise customers, today
announced it has been named Microsoft’s 2013 Healthcare Provider Partner
of the Year. The award recognizes Perficient, also Microsoft’s overall
2013 U.S. Partner of the Year, for using Microsoft technology to deliver
innovative healthcare solutions.
“Microsoft is pleased to announce that Perficient is being recognized as
the US Health Provider Partner of the Year for the third time in the
past four years,” said Steve Aylward, general manager, US Health & Life
Sciences, Strategies & Solutions, Microsoft. “Perficient’s dedicated
national health practice delivers innovative and intelligent solutions
for hospitals and health systems deployed on familiar Microsoft
technologies such as SharePoint, Lync, SQL Server, and Dynamics CRM.
These solutions allow healthcare organizations to leverage their
investment in the Microsoft platform that provide instant access to
patient and clinical information, streamline core business processes
such as eligibility, referrals and claims, and significantly improve
interactions with patients/members, physicians, and administrators.”
Highlights of recent implementations include:
-
Collaborating with one of the largest healthcare providers to
integrate Office 365 to quickly setup and extend their Active
Directory environment for not only Lync Online, but all of the Office
365 services. This allowed for a HIPAA compliant solution that also
addressed eDiscovery and data loss prevention concerns;
-
Optimizing and extending the role of a client’s Epic electronic health
records (EHR) system to enable hospital personnel to make more
well-informed decisions on critical matters. Through an integrated SQL
Server and SharePoint based business intelligence (BI) solution,
information generated from analytics and EHR systems is more timely
and accessible, providing users with a seamless, “self-serve”
environment; and
-
Developing a SharePoint 2013 based consumer portal leveraging
responsive design to address device mobility. Allowing personalized
patient engagement with dynamic content and strong design elements.
“We are extremely honored to again be named Microsoft’s Healthcare
Provider Partner of the Year,” said Mike Gersten, VP of Perficient’s
Microsoft National Business Unit. “Our partnership with Microsoft is
built on trust and a shared vision of success. Perficient prides itself
on our ability to leverage our healthcare industry expertise and partner
with Microsoft to deliver truly integrated end-to-end solutions for our
clients.”
In addition to being named the Healthcare Provider Partner of the Year
and 2013 U.S. Partner of the year, Perficient also recently received
awards from Microsoft including the East Region NSI Partner of the Year,
the Central Region Enterprise Cloud Partner of the Year and the

365, Azure,
