I work most with InterSystems IRIS Interoperability. My job involves connecting the systems of branch stores with the headquarters. The biggest challenge is transforming a wide variety of data so that the receiving end can understand the message. It also involves data synchronization such as prices, which are used in all branches, mainly using service scheduling.

I use InterSystems IRIS to help multiple entities communicate with each other. To exchange data and manage training registrations.All these exchanges concern standards used in all areas (ISO, etc...)Exchanges are done by files (sftp...) but above all by REST API.We use InterSystems IRIS because DB storage is really simple. We have the ability to simply transport a message from one point to another or to transform it before distributing it.

We use InterSystems Iris and HealthConnect as our intergration engine between our EMR & our vendor systems. It allows us to take in millions of HL7 messages, translate those messages according to the needs of our company & vendors and send them on to their destinations within seconds. It also works for HL7v3, X12, and API (FHIR/Json) data.

We use InterSystems IRIS to provide quick and easy solutions to integrate with other partners/systems. Thanks to the prebuilt universal connectors at your disposal it's easy and quick start communicating with differents systems without having to worry about what database is being used at the other side. Not only that, if you need to create your own solution you can create new coded classes to achieve your goal.

InterSystems IRIS is a comprehensive platform for developing and deploying web applications with real-time data synchronization across multiple devices. It is also highly scalable with the ability to cache applications for better performance.

We implement healthcare integration at NHS trusts across the UK providing solutions both within the IRIS program and inc conjunction with it. The majority of work ensures data integrity and interoperability across different systems within the trusts, but more intricate solutions can be implemented depending on the trusts requests. Such solutions include custom business components and code in the TIE and database management with a database outside of IRIS.

With the help of InterSystems IRIS, users can use the TrakCare data to build applications. This tool is useful for application development and better manages the health data.I was looking for a database change management solution and this worked well. I was able to track changes in multiple environments and view it in a single pannel. The documentation was pretty useful and I was able to get started with it pretty quickly.

InterSystems IRIS helps our organization quickly and efficiently develop solutions across our product suite. It is fully comprehensive allowing us to manage deployment, database configuration, connectivity, and routing of data throughout data lifecycle. The product roadmap is always growing to include features well suited for any company to store, organize, and analyze data.

Our company has used the database platform for decades and recently adopted their interoperability engine to enable multiple clients connect securely to our transactional routine engine in a myriad of formats (HL7v2, files, and custom data streams) allowing quick routing to the desired messaging server infrastructure (which transforms custom formats to our standard) and then sending transactions to the customer-specific database server for consumption. This allowed for easy adoption and support for our overall architecutre. As well as moving our company towards industry-standard techniques to promote easier onboarding of new employees within the integration, support, and development departments.

We create ERP software primarily for the millwork industry. We need a database that performs well whether our customer has five end-users or a thousand. InterSystems IRIS (and before it, Cache) scale well both in performance and cost. It provides everything you need to create your own applications, including plenty of options for interoperability with other systems and built-in business intelligence tools. It is a multimodel database in which the various models are always synchronized. Even using its own prepackaged IDE, you are free to develop in ObjectScript, Python, SQL, javascript, and Java. For object-oriented programmers like me, it's very easy to pick up and learn everything you need to know.

I use InterSystems IRIS as a cloud-based database together with its multi-model transactional data management engine that allows me to interconnect systems with great ease, as well as flexible access to the different types of data that we deal with in the company. It also provides an application development platform, which I use with a VSCode implementation that seems wonderful to me. It has an interoperability engine that allows us, in a visual way, to carry out multiple processes within the application in a very visual and interactive way.
