The next BriefingsDirect big-data solution discussion explores how triumvirate of big-data players have teamed to deliver a rapid and efficient analysis capability across disparate data types for the healthcare industry.

We'll learn how the drive for better patient outcomes amid economic efficiency imperatives has created a demand for a new type of big-data implementation model. This model with the support from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Microsoft, and Sogeti leverages a nimble big-data platform, converged solutions, hybrid cloud, and deep vertical industry expertise.

The result is innovative and game-changing insights across healthcare ecosystems of providers, patients, and payers. The ramp-up to these novel and accessible insights is rapid, and the cost-per-analysis value is very impressive.

Here to share the story on how the Data-Driven Decisions for Healthcare initiative arose and why it portends more similar vertical industry focused solutions, we're joined by Bob LeRoy, Vice President in the Global Microsoft Practice and Manager of the HPE Alliance at Sogeti USA. He's based in Cincinnati. The discussion is moderated by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions. [Sponsor: Hewlett Packard Enterprise.]
