By Walter Lindsay, Director of Solution Architecture, Liaison Technologies The cover of a recent Harvard Business Review caught my eye. Its cover has a large smiley face and the words “The Value of Happiness How Employee Well-Being Drives Profits.” I did just switch from being the chief architect for Contivo and am now director of product management and that means I have been thinking about happiness at the office. But the main reason it caught my eye is that I recently spent a week at the Liaison 2012 sales kickoff.  When I saw it I realized I could explain to my 4 …

Some of the hot topics on the showroom floor included terms like consumerization, mobility and last but not least, big data. While these are all points certainly worthy of discussion, I also received a unique perspective when talking to IT security professionals who have visibility into the real world IT security budgets at large as well as small organizations. These folks were …

Guest Author:Michael Morgan This is the second of a three part blog series that discusses our favorite older technologies that work seamlessly with cloud-based data integrations.  Next up on the cloud catwalk: EDI. The cloud is the emerging dynamite platform for new trends and technologies that have drawn awe from anyone who knows anything about integration. While we all embrace the new (and rightly so), I want to pay appropriate homage to a venerable and nimble file type used all over the world for integrations today: EDI. Before the editors yell at me, let me define what I mean by …

By Naveen Sarabu, Director, Product Management and Strategy, Liaison Healthcare Informatics Having just returned from the HIMSS conference in Las Vegas, I was able to gain some interesting insight and talk to industry leaders at the show about how meaningful use incentives are affecting the adoption of electronic health records. Recently, stage one of the meaningful use incentives was implemented and stage two was just announced while we were at the conference. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) also released their monthly EHR Incentive Program report. According to the report, in the first 9 months, approximately $3.12 billion …

Even though the book was published back in 2005, many of the core ideas and principles still apply. I found an interesting section entitled ‘Risk Profile and Fear of Change’ that I thought was worth highlighting. Craig states on page 24: “When it comes to risk, the attitude of the software company is in conflict with the attitude of the customer. The software company is more prone to risk. …

2012 is a “Leap Year,” where we get an extra day tagged onto the end of the month of February. It only occurs every four years, but why does it happen at all? Because the earth doesn’t orbit the sun in exactly 365 days; it’s more like 365 days and 6 hours, so we have to add an extra day to make that “leap” to keep the calendar consistent. In terms of the cloud, what great leaps have we seen in this area of technology? The concept of “cloud computing” actually dates back to the 1960s, but it didn’t begin …
