  • The place where I work has been using the InterSystems IRIS system for many years, and it is by far its main advantage in the market.
  • As it is not a system that is widely taught and promoted in colleges and courses, it is necessary to train a programmer almost from scratch for this system.

  • It has improved our development speed so we are able to produce more quickly.
  • It has offered the ability to provide more customized solutions in comparison to what we were using allowing us to offer a greater range of solutions.
  • Custom processes are typically written in the InterSystems Development Language which does take some time to learn but it does follow standard syntax and logic.
  • Source Control is not standard out of the box and it does take some work to get it implemented though this process is improving.

  • Employee onboarding can be difficult given the depth of the features and functionality of the IRIS platform. Utilizing the companies documentation, training, and commitment to their customers, as well as having a well-organized means to onboard new employees, can be critical in getting new hires up-to-speed. Once in place, however, it makes hiring staff with varying degrees of responsibility within your organization easy. Our companies customer support, new-client integration, application development, and analytics departments all use various aspects of the InterSystems IRIS platform allowing for a single "universal" language across our organization. This not only makes communication easier but provides clear organizational career paths a real possibility.
  • Solution Deployment is critical for our organization. We have 800+ local instances of the software installed at various hospitals and the deployment and implementation of new software features and functionality, as well as solutions to reported bugs, is critical. We use various tools and scripts throughout the IRIS platform to make rolling out new features as quick and efficiently as possible.
  • Cross-functional development on a single unified platform allows for each department to be able to integrate seamless with one another without having to integrate a suite of individual products. Our various departments can meet and collaborate with one another in determining the best, most efficient, way to integrate our various solutions without having to look for third-party vendors that can meet our standards.
