GT Software Partners with INTACTA to Provide Secure Healthcare Legacy Data Integration
Companies Demonstrate HIPAA Aligned Architecture at HIMSS 2002, Atlanta
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire/ - INTACTA Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ITAC - news) announced today a license agreement with GT Software, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia. Under terms of the
agreement, GT Software and INTACTA will integrate INTACTA's INTACTA.CODE data encoding engines with GT Software's OpenMIND(TM) business integration server, designed to enable organizations to build and deploy composite applications from disparate legacy and enterprise data sources using XML based technology. The integrated solution will allow healthcare organizations to securely expand the access and availability of legacy based patient records and data across internet systems or mobile devices. Further, INTACTA's technology will enable ``off-the shelf'' scanners to tag paper-based healthcare forms with XML instructions for immediate processing by legacy and non-legacy based systems.
``INTACTA.CODE delivers a high level of security for data - both in transmission between points in
the enterprise, or anywhere the data is stored,'' said Sean Adee, VP of Business Development at GT Software. ``Healthcare
providers need this level of security for their critical patient medical data to comply with newly enacted HIPAA requirements.''
Many healthcare providers are struggling with adopting a myriad of
incompatible solutions to become HIPAA compliant. This becomes even more difficult to achieve when existing paper based forms and records have to be redesigned to integrate online systems.
``GT Software has a powerful set of solutions to integrate and extend enterprise information
resources. The ability to quickly and securely integrate
and extend healthcare related information is a key need for most healthcare organizations,'' said Noel Bambrough, President & CEO of INTACTA Technologies, Inc. ``This agreement provides healthcare organizations a much easier path to HIPAA compliance.''
GT Software Enterprise Integration Solutions
GT Software's OpenMIND Server provides a complete, scalable, platform independent solution for
integrating enterprise resources that is simple to implement and manage, utilizing XML technology to interface with any browser, WAP device, or XML capable application. OpenMIND is fully
integrated with the
Novation family of Legacy Integration Solutions to provide simplified and complete integration with IBM legacy based applications and data, providing customers unparalleled integration capabilities and rapid return on investment.
INTACTA.CODE
INTACTA.CODE is not just another version of encryption. It is a unique
process that provides the security of encryption with a host of other functions. INTACTA.CODE is a COM-based component that compresses and encrypts any data - such as applications, images, database records, and documents - into a graphic form representing the binary information. Any ODBC compliant database can store and query INTACTA.CODE, which can be sent electronically over an intranet, the Internet, or wirelessly to mobile devices. It can also be printed and faxed allowing secure transmission of sensitive data on printed material.
