Company Profile
iSOFT, with its headquarters in UK, was founded in 1998, to harness information technology to improve healthcare delivery. It soon developed into a global player with a significant presence in 14 countries around the world. In view of the ever-changing requirements in the information systems of modern healthcare communities, a need was felt for a global R&D centre to keep pace with the times and provide innovative solutions. As a result, Chennai was chosen in 2001 by iSOFT to set up its global R&D centre, in view of its infrastructure, abundant talent pool, reasonable cost of living and easy connectivity to and from other places, internal and international. The centre has grown by leaps and bounds from its initial work force of four to its present strength of 1,056, occupying a floor space of 90,000 sq ft spread over three locations in Chennai. There is no limit to its growth potential as governments around the world are pouring in more and more funds into healthcare, with a parallel increase in demand for iSOFT products. As such, iSOFT has committed an investment in excess of $100m into its Indian operations. The consistent and single-minded focus has been innovation to provide next generation patient-centric software application packages supporting both public and private healthcare providers. The products cover the entire gamut of informations systems requirements in healthcare. They are delivered as Application Service Providers (ASPs) through large 3rd party service organisations. Currently, the application design work is done at the core markets and the software development and delivery is handled by Chennai.

Business Continuity
Each facility in Chennai acts as a backup site for the other. Redundant server systems are deployed as hot-stand-by at these offices as backup systems to enable business continuity in the event of a disaster at one facility. Periodic online replications of data are performed between facilities to protect critical data. iSOFT has full backup processes, onsite/offsite backup media storage, fully redundant communication links, network connectivity, clustered and resilient computing equipment, power, and data centre security. Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity is an on-going process and iSOFT is committed to continually improving upon the processes. As part of this initiative, an offsite disaster recovery site location is being built at the Hi-Tech city at Hyderabad. Server facilities will be maintained at this site to serve as backup for the facilities in Chennai and be ready for use in case the need arises. High-speed fibre channel NLD links will connect the Chennai facilities to the DR site to enable on-line replication of critical data for smooth switchover in case of any emergencies. This site will also be connected triangularly to the international location to enable additional communication link redundancy. Periodic backup of all data will also be maintained at the DR site. Laptops and workstations with preinstalled software will be maintained for immediate use by key members should the need arise.
