18. In India 5% over the million end-stage kidney failure
patients receive dialysis treatment
Case
Study:
Gaurav Porwal
Saurav Panda
19. “With innovation in medicine and
support from technology ,we are able to
offer dialysis at least 30 percent lower
than our competition”
Techno savvy owners deploy technology to remove
efficiently the issues faced by other centers in India
Aimed to provide top quality, affordable and
accessible dialysis treatment to the masses
Collaborated with ABS solutions to implement hosted
Microsoft dynamics AX 2009
20. Founders realized the demand-supply gap for affordable
and quality Dialysis treatment
Contribute back to society –
Penetrate the expensive treatment into the metro’s
Take it to the masses in tier 1 and tier 2 cities with a
cost effective approach and no frills approach
Identified lack of standardized process across multiple
dialysis centers of same organization
21.
22. Gaurav Porwal
Co-Founder and Director,
Sparsh Nephrocare
Solution
Based on the identified priorities, the Directors at Sparsh
Nephrocare collaborated with Affordable Business Solutions (ABS)
to evaluate solutions that would meet their requirements.
Hosted Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 summed up as an affordable
and easily scalable platform. “It was easy to adopt Hosted Microsoft
Dynamics AX because as per our unique requirements, healthcare
and standard ERP features were available in a single application,”
elucidates Gaurav Porwal, Director, Renaccess Healthcare.
Studying the requirements and budget constraints of the new set up,
ABS recommended Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model for
implementation.
ABS identified the unique requirement at Sparsh to make patient
dialysis parameters remotely accessible to the nephrologists over
the Web, which is key to its success and efficiency.
23. Solution
The solution is tailored to include a Nephrocare module.
This module tracks patient’s health and doctor information by centre
with dialysis parameters such as clearance number, toxin level,
average weight gain, blood pressure, hemoglobin, urea, Creatinine
levels etc.
Doctors in metros can log in, see the reports of their
respective patients, and intervene if they observe anything
out of order.
The information from Dynamics AX is sent to SQL Server Analysis
Services cubes.
Users view the reports using Microsoft Office Excel to connect to a
cube through a data connection.
Reports are generated to study the dialysis parameters of every
patient and monthly reports are used to analyze and maintain the
efficiency of centre and quality control.
24. Benefits
Improves Patient Care
Lowers Patient Costs with Better Inventory Control
Annual Savings of INR 500,000 per Center with SaaS
Brings Quality Management
Supports Business Growth

Stem Cells
• A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve a biological resource
that could be a lifesaver for your child or other family members.
• Hold great potential in treating a wide number of diseases and
disorders. Much more primitive than bone marrow or peripheral
stem cells.
• The collection process is less invasive, painless, and quick.
• It is easy to retrieve and is readily available whenever it is
needed, unlike bone marrow for example, where it is harder to
find a donor matching your HLA type
• Ideal for treating genetically inherited diseases - If you have a
family history or are worried about a predisposition to certain
diseases, cord blood banking could be your ray of hope.

Evolution is inevitable. When we talk about Software + Services to the customers – it is essential to provide solution that is hastle-free, easy to use, reliable and provides next level security for the protection of data.
However the world is changing and a constant technological evolution is happening.
This is the evolution that has happened so far, so it is really a matter as a company to think about what can use from this new wave of innovations coming take upon advantage of the Cloud. The evolution of Dynamics ERP systems from the decade of 70 where the mainframe architecture was used which shifted to the client-server based ERP. The revolution shift came over with the deployment of web-based ERP systems in the 90s decade which observed a transitional shift tosards development of service oriented architecture. The deployment of Cloud-based Dynamics ERP systems created the new age revolution which provide the ease of access form multiple location and provide real-time monitoring
So if take a closer look at the changing business environment we can see that there are several drivers.
The business environment changes taking place are driven mainly by competitive dynamics in the business world including globalization and cheap technology, cheap processors, cheap storage, cheap bandwidth, migration from single core to multi-core to many core, makes processing speed more and more readily available at a cheaper, cheaper cost. Storage continues to double in capacity for a given price point, and that will continue. But that’s not it, that’s not the only thing; just throwing cheap hardware at a problem is just one of the three vectors that we’re going to talk about here.
And of course with the internet, we are able to get access to all these resources and stitch all this stuff together at very low cost or in some cases absolutely free. And Web 2.0 with its demand for a more interactive, user driven experience with more room for individual choices and unique needs. Customers expect flexibility to connect anytime, anywhere, and on different devices.
Another big vector is Customer Choice providing an agile response to competitive pressures and allowing customers to architect their business in ways that best address changing and emerging market opportunities as well as control costs. Finally, the cost of acquisition for a solution to an immediate business need is much lower in a web services model. The nature of web service distribution allows for easy deployment of a solution. For example, a solution can be purchased and up and running within a matter of hours!
The last really big element of three big innovation vectors is Software as a Service. We really look at software as a service as service delivery. It’s a way of delivering software; it speaks to where the software and physical hardware is located. And in the case of software as a service it’s simply software running on a server, located remotely, accessed over the internet. And so we don’t look at software as a service necessarily as the high order bit for this service transformation, we look at it as simply a way of delivering software.
Today, there are three software delivery models available to choose from: On-Premise, Partner Hosted, and Microsoft Hosted.
We believe choice is not a zero-sum game and the real outcome is that customers will select a ‘hybrid’ model, or blend of software and services, that best scale to their specific business needs.
A hybrid model allows you our partners to combine the best of the software and services world in new and compelling ways to provide maximum value to customers!
