Eclipsys Corporation^® (NASDAQ:ECLP), The Outcomes Company^®, today announced that NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (NewYork-Presbyterian), one of the nation’s largest not-for-profit, non-sectarian hospitals, has successfully migrated a significant portion of its enterprise-wide information technology (IT) server processing and storage infrastructure to Eclipsys’ Remote Hosting Services. Coinciding with the migration of mission-critical applications to the Eclipsys Technology Solutions Center in New Jersey, NewYork-Presbyterian also upgraded to the latest version of the Sunrise Clinical Manager™ suite of solutions in use at the Hospital’s five major medical centers.

"Electing to have a portion of our technology infrastructure hosted offsite is cost effective and removes the burden of day-to-day maintenance. This allows us to focus on making improvements to applications that help our clinicians deliver high quality patient care,” said Aurelia G. Boyer, senior vice president and chief information officer, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. "Eclipsys has made this migration seamless and cost-effective.”

High Level of System Availability and Predictive Expenditures

By opting to use Eclipsys’ Remote Hosting Services applications for systems formerly housed within the Hospital, NewYork Presbyterian also gains a level of system availability backed by the source of its software, along with monitoring, reporting, disaster recovery and response-time warranties for a predictable monthly service fee Remote hosting is intended to reduce IT infrastructure expenditures and open up valuable floor space currently occupied by hardware devoted to Eclipsys within the Hospital’s internal data center.

NewYork-Presbyterian joins a growing number of hospitals that have elected to outsource the hosting of a portion of their IT infrastructure to Eclipsys. Currently 40 percent of the Eclipsys’ U.S.-based clients rely upon its world-class, ISO 9001:2000-certified, 24/7 data center to provide mission critical application performance, customer support, security and disaster recovery. With Eclipsys Remote Hosting Services, clients can offload all or part of their server processing and storage infrastructure to Eclipsys, which provides access to powerful CPU processing, fast storage and dedicated point-to-point communications.

"In the rapidly changing healthcare technology market, maintaining an up-to-date IT infrastructure is difficult on a day-to-day basis, let alone when a hospital or health system endeavors to enhance current system functionality,” said John McAuley, Eclipsys’ senior vice president, Outsourcing and Support. "The great challenge in finding experienced and knowledgeable IT resources to assure system availability makes Eclipsys remote hosting services an attractive option. We provide the experience and scale to help our clients accelerate the value from their investment in technology with a predictable price and a track record of positive outcomes.”
