As I deal with interoperability 99% of the time in my work, and I really enjoy the functionality of the tool, I would easily recommend this tool to large businesses that have many branches and need a tool to integrate and monitor all of them. Besides liking the fact that I don't need to manually establish a database connection, which makes development much easier.

The support provided by Intersystems is of a very high level with great involvement of stakeholders.
Productivity is therefore greatly increased compared to competing solutions.

InterSystems IRIS is really good for transporting messages and flows.
Object script is a simple object language. You don't need a lot of experience to get started.
InterSystems IRIS is not designed to create entire back/front applications but that is not its purpose. However, it can be integrated via API calls.

Intersystems IRIS is a really great tool for Interoperability. It has so many capabilities out of the box and then such a great developer community on top of that, that there are really no limits to what you can do in terms of data manipulation and translation. Personally I find it to be a great tool if you are looking for Interoperability software.

Best option if you have to handle thousands of messages between different systems with differents databases, especially if you have to work with standards like SOAP, REST, HL7, etc. This product is capable of managing all your integration needs.

Maybe not suitable for small enterprises that don't have to exchange live information with other partners.

It is an excellent platform if there are many interfaces that need implmentation such as in large hospitals, as it provides a clear way of viewing an managing all said interfaces.

However on a smaller scale the price is too much and consideration of a scalable price model may aid int IRIS's adoption at smaller businesses.

Technology-wise this is one of the best solutions. Overall this will cover all the needs of hospitals. Clinical part is very strong and easy to manage. Once they start to use they can reduce the time consuming to do the insurance submission-related things. That I am found to be corrected is their design resolution aspects and it will need to be worked in any resolution.

InterSystems IRIS is particularly well suited for handling large-scale data integration projects. It allows companies to consolidate the software needed to connect, process, store, and analyze data using industry-standard data formats and tooling. The support and learning the company provides is best-of-breed. The only scenario where it would be less appropriate would be small-scale, minimal data storage, projects.

Our company is a large, healthcare-related, content management application that must process large amounts of real-time data transactions from the client's Electronic Medical Record (EMR), identify the Master Patient Index (MPI) to bring uniqueness to the patient data, and identify/alert customers with critical-to-mild processing issues - anywhere from data was rejected, to data was accepted but individual data elements need to be defined or adjusted before reporting can be deemed useful. This all has to be done within multiple transactions PER SECOND, and data has to be able to reported with minimal wait time for clients.

IRIS is well-suited to a wide range of applications, especially where database performance and scalability are a must. If you're in health care, this is definitely the product for you. There are versions of it with built-in support for a lot of healthcare industry standards. If you're only creating a very small application and aren't expecting it to grow, you're probably overshooting with IRIS, however even in those cases, there is a community edition that may be more appropriate.

An appropriate scenario based on our experience is that it allows communication with multiple health machines and has a centralized database, which allows managing all kinds of data structures and is simple to use. A less appropriate scenario has been the use of IRIS to bypass the intended sector.

It is well suited to taking hospital patient data and automatically routing it to demographic systems as well as the intended destination. It can perform a great many operations on the data automatically to suit the hospital's needs, and thus reduce labour costs for the hospital on an ongoing basis.
