February 29, 2012


Healthcare enterprise cloud computing provider incorporates Pentaho Business Analytics to operationalize unstructured data

February 29, 2012, Santa Clara, CA (Strata Conference) — Delivering the future of business analytics, Pentaho Corporation today announced that Shareable Ink®, an enterprise cloud computing provider that transforms paper documentation to structured data, has incorporated Pentaho Business Analytics to help create an innovative big data analytics platform for healthcare. Shareable Ink Analytics extracts clinical and operational data that originates from natural input tools such as iPads and digital pens, and visualizes it into dashboards and drill-down analyses and reports.

Shareable Ink enables healthcare organizations to distill valuable clinical data that has never-before been digitized and to incorporate analysis into daily operations and workflows.A common use case for Shareable Ink Analytics is the need to instantlyreview, report, and manage real-time performance, compliance, and efficiency metrics, such as SCIP (Surgical Care Improvement Project) measures, anesthesia turnover times, and on-time case starts. Instead of customizing data management and analytics for every hospital or healthcare organization, Shareable Ink lowers IT infrastructure costs by creating a common data store, analytics and reporting platform for all its end customers – regardless of the type, shape, and format of data they use.

“We wanted to spend time creating an innovative platform that was distinctly valuable to our audience and not spend time re-inventing in-house big data analytics functionality,” said Gerry Andrady, vice president of product management, Shareable Ink. “Pentaho Business Analytics provides a cloud-based analytical platform to extract, prepare and analyze loosely structured data, helping Shareable Ink to provide visualizations and sharing of this free-form healthcare information to a large population of healthcare users such as doctors, nurses, and administrative staff.“

“By pairing Shareable Ink with Pentaho, information can automatically be recorded, accessed, analyzed and visualized in reports and dashboards in as little as five minutes,” said Richard Daley, founder and chief strategy officer, Pentaho. “Built for the future of analytics, Pentaho’s easily embeddable platform allows companies such as Shareable Ink to cost-effectively deploy a big data solution that is efficient, fast and scalable.”
