QlikView part of PerfectServe solution for improving life-saving communication

PerfectServe, a provider of physician contact and patient care communication services, was facing challenges in managing the IT needs of its fast-growing organization. The company was growing at a rate of 50% each year since 2000. They needed a solution that would empower their clients to develop customized data reports without relying on PerfectServe's IT staff. Additionally, they wanted to increase the depth and functionality of their data reports. PerfectServe delivers standard reporting on contact events to its hospital clients typically on a monthly basis. The addition of a “self-serve” business intelligence reporting tool would be a major enhancement for clients as well as a benefit to its own operational productivity.
