UPMC, a leading IT innovator, sought to become a truly integrated, self-regulating healthcare system, utilizing evidence-based medicine to produce superb clinical outcomes and lower costs. In a landmark strategic partnership valued at $402 million over 8 years, UPMC's systems will be transformed into an On Demand Business environment using IBM products and services. At the core, infrastructure simplification - characterized by the flexibility, adherence to standards and data model consistency of IBM's service-oriented architecture approach - is what makes it possible.
