H.I.S Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) The financial aspects associated with selecting a cost saving software solution for your hospital is of two fold nature viz a viz the cost of acquisition and the cost of ownership. H.I.S is built using opensource technology, which implies that there are no hidden and expensive licence costs to be paid for the server operating system or the relational database management system (RDBMS such as Oracle, Sql-server etc). The technologies that we have chosen to build our products hardly ever requires any specialised hands to manage as they have been in use for over a decade, self tuning, tested at high volume installations, easy to maintain and low on hardware requirements when compared to prohibitively expensive products offered by other vendors. This translates to low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Implementation skills We are about people and our highly trained customer facing personnel knows what they are doing as the average implementation engineer comes with nothing less than 3 years of onsite experience, armed with best practices in the healthcare industry. They cut jargons and goes about training, seeing eye to eye with end users and putting your people at ease. No need to teach our people on how your healthcare systems work.
