DBI Software celebrates IBM DB2 LUW performance successes with HealthPlan Services
Austin, Texas USA - (March 27, 2014)
-
HealthPlan ServicesSM (HPS), the nation's
leading technology, sales, retention and administrative services provider
for the insurance and managed care markets, has selected DBI Software's
pureFeat™ Performance Management Suite for IBM DB2 LUW
as its strategic DB2 performance monitoring, tuning, and trend analysis tool.
As the insurance industry adapts to the requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
of 2010, visibility and importance of the consumer experience has never been higher.
By partnering with DBI Software, Tampa, Fla.-based HPS has taken important proactive
measures to help provide its clients and their members with a quality website and
superior application performance.
"DBI allows us to more accurately and rapidly isolate the root cause of performance
issues and quickly develop an effective solution," said Ms.
Patty Pritchard,
Director of Database Administration (DBA) for
HPS, which serves more than 3
million members of many of the nation's leading health insurance plans. "DBI's tools
also enable our database administrators to deliver high quality and reliably
fast service to our constituents."
Adds Mr.
Steve Masters, HPS
Senior DBA: "Within five mouse clicks, we were able
to identify and rapidly correct our most costly SQL queries in terms of CPU
usage, Index efficiency, and I/O consumption. The DBI trend charts make it easy to
verify our improvements and showcase our successes to management."
"The rapid, measurable results we've achieved with the DBI tools surpass any I've
worked with previously," said
Frank Velasco, Senior
Database Architect for HPS. 'They
have helped accelerate our preparations for health care reform and, subsequently,
our company's contributions to the healthcare industry overall."
Mr. Scott Hayes, President and
Founder of DBI, states: "DBI applauds HPS and
its talented team. Too many organizations simply throw expensive hardware at
performance problems that arise in production. HPS, in contrast, is proactively
ensuring DB2 database performance and prudently managing their IT costs for the
benefit of all clients."
DBI will demonstrate the next release of
Brother-Panther® for DB2 LUW at the IDUG Conference
(www.idug.org/na) in May
in Phoenix, Arizona.
