Ingersoll Rand Partners with CNL Software's PSIM on Healthcare Solutions

  • Apr 07, 2011
The global healthcare practice of Ingersoll-Rand has entered into a technology agreement with CNL Software, which provides PSIM software.

Under the terms of the agreement, Ingersoll Rand will license a private-label version of CNL’s IPSecurityCenter, a software-based integration and management platform customized specifically for the healthcare market. Ingersoll Rand and CNL Software will work together to develop the customized solution that allows healthcare providers to connect and manage disparate building, security and business intelligence systems such as video surveillance, access control, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, asset management, incident reporting, enterprise resource planning, lighting and nurse call.
 
“With the emersion of new technologies and increased regulations – as well as the need for more transparency to results – healthcare providers are looking for solutions providers that offer innovative technologies to help them more effectively achieve their business goals,” reports Laura Rygielski Preston, vice president of the Ingersoll Rand Global Healthcare Practice. “Working with CNL is a critical component in helping our customers overcome physical environment challenges in order to improve productivity and maximize financial performance.”
           
The announcement of this agreement comes on the heels of Ingersoll Rand launching its Global Healthcare Practice, a group of industry experts operating across Ingersoll Rand’s Climate Solutions and Security Technologies sectors dedicated to advancing the physical environment of healthcare facilities around the world.
 
“CNL’s IPSecurityCenter sits at the heart of some of the largest, most complex and ground-breaking security integration projects in the world,” said CNL Software President Matthew Kushner. “This technology agreement combines CNL’s industry leading software with Ingersoll Rand’s expertise in the built environment to help shape the future of converged physical environments in healthcare.”
 
“The goal of this collaboration is to provide our customers with the ability to integrate new and existing systems, automate processes and view user-selected or customized real-time data and information – providing added insights to help them improve their clinical and financial outcomes,” Rygielski Preston said.

Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
