SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 11/23/09 --
Innotas (www.innotas.com), the exclusive
provider of
on-demand IT Governance, is seeing increasing demand by healthcare
providers for its software that delivers an easy-to-use, rapid-to-deploy,
and cost-effective way to manage resources and budgets across an IT
department's entire inventory of projects, portfolios, applications,
assets, and service requests. Recent healthcare customers include CHG
Healthcare Services, Benedictine Health System, West Penn Allegheny Health
System, WellStar Health Systems, Inc., and Neighborhood Health Plan of
Rhode Island, to name a few.
Healthcare is a growth industry that is under intense pressure to embrace
new technologies, such as electronic records, billing systems and CT
scanning/imaging that can drive better care and increase bottom lines. With
this brings the increased need by healthcare IT departments to better
manage the strategic direction, prioritization, control, visibility,
processes and tasks associated with deploying new technologies, as well as
manage and maintain these systems moving forward.
"There is an amazing amount of activity tied to Healthcare becoming more
technology-based, but that comes with incredible cost-control initiatives
and scrutiny as healthcare providers work on extremely thin margins," said
Keith Carlson, Innotas CEO. "Innotas On-Demand IT Governance provides a
cost-effective, seamless and collaborative platform that provides
transparency between Healthcare IT and their internal customers, which
net-net enables better, more informed decisions across the projects they
are working on and overall increases in ROI and productivity," continued
Carlson.
Innotas on-demand IT Governance is built on a strong foundation in IT Project Portfolio Management (PPM), which is used
to manage strategic initiatives, and also includes Application Portfolio Management capabilities that
provide visibility into sustaining IT operations and maintenance
activities.
Innotas, with its on-demand delivery model, also enables customers to be up
and running immediately, and with data loaded, the system configured and
people trained in just a few weeks.
Innotas was placed by Gartner (www.gartner.com) in the Visionaries Quadrant
in the June 2, 2009 Gartner analysis, "Magic Quadrant for IT Project and
Portfolio Management" by Dan Stang, principal research analyst and Michael
Hanford, research director.
Additionally, analyst firm IDC (www.idc.com) positioned Innotas as an
industry leader in its IDC MarketScape SaaS/On Demand ITPPM Market View and

About IDC MarketScape
The IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an
overview of the competitive fitness of ICT (information and communications

a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative
criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor's
position within a given market. IDC MarketScape provides a clear framework
in which the product and service offerings, capabilities and strategies,
and current and future market success factors of IT and telecommunications
vendors can be meaningfully compared. The framework also provides
technology buyers with a 360-degree assessment of the strengths and
weaknesses of current and prospective vendors.
