As the demand for more information and new types of reports increased, the IT department found it increasingly difficult to keep up. The hospital needed a platform that could integrate real-time information with static historical data from diverse sources. Additionally, they needed a way to make their vast data stores more meaningful and actionable, as their current reporting was not aiding in the discovery of insights needed to seize opportunities and mitigate risks promptly.
