New Generation Software, Inc. (NGS) offers three specially-designed reporting and analytics solutions for the Siemens Medical Solutions MedSeries4 system:
- NGS-IQ Query, Reporting, and Analysis
- Real Time for MedSeries4
- Decision Assist Business Performance for MedSeries4
What is NGS-IQ?
NGS-IQ is a powerful query, report writing, analysis, and presentation solution designed for your IBM System i (AS/400). You can use NGS-IQ to access the critical data captured by MedSeries4 and other applications on your System i and produce everything from traditional reports and displays to Web-based performance dashboards, Microsoft Excel workbooks, Word documents, Access tables, Adobe PDF files, and more.
The versatile NGS-IQ system satisfies the reporting and analysis needs of financial and clinical staff while maintaining data integrity, compliance, and security. Users of IBM Query/400 instantly appreciate the way NGS-IQ virtually eliminates the need to write multiple queries and generate work files to produce useful reports. Windows and Web users find the graphical presentation qualities in NGS-IQ enable them to see performance trends and exceptions quickly and customize reports without waiting for assistance from an IT staff member or consultant.
What is Real Time for MedSeries4?
Real Time for MedSeries4, developed entirely with NGS-IQ, is a set of ready-to-run performance dashboards, reports, and multidimensional OLAP models built directly over your MedSeries4 database. By licensing Real Time for MedSeries4, you can immediately begin producing high quality, graphical output from your MedSeries4 data, even before you have learned how to use the NGS-IQ software. Real Time for MedSeries4 includes a Web portal user interface where users can launch and view all of the standard reports and presentations. When licensed with NGS-IQ and the NGS Business Performance Dashboard solution, Real Time for MedSeries4 can be customized and extended to better meet your unique performance management and reporting needs.
What is Decision Assist for MedSeries4?
Sometimes, simply generating reports from your live production database can't provide you with the long-term perspective you need. Additionally, writing queries over a normalized enterprise-scale database like the one underlying MedSeries4 can be challenging due to the many files that must be joined for most reports. If you've experienced these challenges, Decision Assist for MedSeries4 is your answer.
Decision Assist Business Performance for MedSeries4 is a pre-defined, data warehouse and analytical reporting solution built specifically for MedSeries4 users. Developed entirely with NGS-IQ, this solution provides you with dashboards, presentations, and a thoroughly documented data warehouse on the System i. The Decision Assist solution includes a set of back-end "ETL" (extraction, transformation, and loading) routines that load your MedSeries4 data into the data warehouse. You decide how frequently you need to run these jobs to keep the data warehouse current. Decision Assist provides you with a long-term perspective on KPI's. Additional benefits include simplified query development for end users with an easier to understand database and a high performance query environment due to the pre-processing during data warehouse updates.
What is the Relationship between Siemens Medical Solutions and NGS?
Siemens Medical Solutions and NGS have worked together for several years. The two companies have a large number of mutual customers who have found the NGS and MedSeries4 software highly complementary and easy to operate. NGS and Siemens staff communicate regularly and share ideas to foster ongoing development.
What is the NGS Training Program for MedSeries4 Customers?
NGS offers a variety of training and consulting services to MedSeries4 customers ranging from two-day beginning user classes to comprehensive certification programs. Most customers can become highly proficient in the use of the NGS-IQ software and the custom MedSeries4 solutions described above after attending just a few NGS training classes. |
