Concurrently, Montefiore was able to transform the institution to an online, real-time financial management system, including the budget process, significantly reducing the amount of time it takes clinical and administrative staff to complete non-value activities so that they can spend more time to support patient care.

"Maintaining accurate, complete, up-to-date information on inventory levels and materials needs is critical to hospital operations," said Charles Agins, vice president of finance, Montefiore Medical Center. "By providing this information in an easy-to-use format, our associates can enjoy a flexible work culture and at the same time stay focused on patient care."

For the healthcare market, SAP and Microsoft will collaborate to leverage existing technologies including Duet, the joint product from SAP and Microsoft to provide seamless access to industry-leading SAP business processes and information via the familiar Microsoft Office environment. Health organizations stand to gain a great deal by streamlining processes for their managers with Duet, especially when it comes to people and suppliers.

"SAP helps healthcare organizations integrate industry-specific administrative processes in order to drive efficiency," said David Corbett, vice president of the U.S. Healthcare Practice at SAP America. "Duet is a great example of the groundbreaking co-innovation between SAP and Microsoft; though this joint go-to-market initiative, Microsoft and SAP will enable providers to further streamline processes and drive down costs, all while improving the overall quality of care."
