“We weren’t too sure about this at first as we hadn’t heard very much about PDA (Netezza), but we did some research online and found there were a lot of case studies where people were reporting they were getting 100-500 times better performance. So we became very interested, and asked Advanced for a proof of concept so we could have a closer look and ensure it would meet our requirements. Advanced approached IBM and we received agreement for a loan of the appliance for a one-month proof of concept. The PDA (Netezza) server spreads the load of the query over multiple processing units and multiple disks. Once you get the appliance set up and the database has been replicated across, you can actually start using it straight away, you have no complex design of a reporting database or anything like that.”
"Advanced are the right size and fit for HS1 in the right location (both head offices are just over a mile apart in London) to provide a tailored IT managed service. Consequently Advanced will act as an ‘IT shepherd’ for HS1 on all IT related matters."
"The collaborative, dynamic and flexible approach from our Advanced contacts has ensured that the deployment and ongoing development continues to impress and inspire."
"The reports we produce in OpenHR are key to making informed management decisions. Producing them manually would be a highly time consuming and painstaking process. The system enables us to extract and manipulate information very easily and provide it in a manager’s required format, saving many hours each week since it was implemented."
"A customer might tell us that they have not received an invoice and in the past, this would have meant that we would have spent time looking for it. V1 enables us to find the missing documents in seconds and send an electronic copy via email. The system and documents can be accessed by different teams within RCN and this means they are no longer as reliant on us as they were in the past."
