MicroStrategy today announced a new strategic alliance with Computer Sciences Corporation. As a result of the alliance, MicroStrategy’s Business Intelligence Platform will be integrated into CSC’s Clinical Knowledge Exchange (CKE) healthcare offering.

CKE is a healthcare data warehousing and clinical informatics design platform that integrates multiple sources and varieties of healthcare data to more accurately analyze healthcare costs, quality, and efficiencies. MicroStrategy’s business intelligence software offers outstanding user scalability and data scalability, allowing companies to strategically analyze and infer clinical intelligence from this previously raw data. The CKE offering will be sold to healthcare organizations across the payer, provider, and federal healthcare agency markets. In addition, the alliance agreement enables the two companies to expand on their experience in the healthcare industry and develop integrated solutions for other vertical markets.

“Clinical, financial, and operational healthcare data exists in local healthcare delivery or payment systems that are not designed to interoperate,” said Dale Prestipino, CTO of CSC’s Global Healthcare Solutions. “Providing a technology solution to connect, collect, and integrate these data is an essential element of understanding where problems exist and how healthcare can be improved. By integrating MicroStrategy into the CKE offering, entities that deliver, pay for, or regulate healthcare services will have the ability to more efficiently report, analyze, and monitor critical healthcare data to make strategic decisions.”

“This alliance with CSC is based on MicroStrategy’s ability to effectively handle vast amounts of data with a large concurrent user-base,” said Tom Villani, MicroStrategy’s vice president of global alliances. “We’re proud that MicroStrategy technology will aid in the effort to improve healthcare quality and will enable organizations across the healthcare continuum to focus on data analysis instead of software installation and management issues.”
