Thanks Josh. Drug manufacturer Pfizer on Thursday said it is teaming with IBM and Microsoft to launch a new venture to sell technology and services to the health care industry.
The venture, which has not been named, will focus on the business needs of office-based physicians, particularly those in smaller groups who represent 70 percent of the office-based doctors in the United States, the company said in a statement.
The plan is for the new company to help doctors cut costs by eliminating paperwork and automating clinical and administrative functions using Microsoft's .Net Enterprise Server and Windows 2000, as well as wireless mobile devices. IBM is providing services to help integrate and implement technologies, along with Web-hosting operations and help desk services through its call centers.
