Since 1997, OCI has been in the business of developing and supporting open source, standards based middleware technologies for the defense, telco, and finance industries. These industries demand highly reliable, scalable, and deterministic behaviors from their systems. The result has been easy integration of innovative applications and more rapid evolution, along with reduction in deployment costs. OCI has supported the development and improvement of various Object Management group (OMG) standards through the leveraging of its open source products, which offered a way to engage in open discussions on implementation issues.

OCI believes the future of viable, high quality, and low cost healthcare lies in much of it being open source, especially the middleware components. By being open source, and thus community driven, the middleware can quickly adapt to changing circumstances and it can reinforce market behaviors by enabling choice of providers. Standards based software at once can commoditize many services while at the same time encouraging innovation, as providers move along the value chain in order to differentiate their offerings.

Open source is the modern 21st century approach to development. It produces robust, high quality code in the shortest time, often with many of the best software engineering practices available in industry. “Zero cost licensing” helps speed up the rate of adoption by lowering the impediments to use. The lack of vendor lock-in and a level playing field engenders confidence in participants and encourages their investments.

OCI has established a low cost service-based model for supporting the open source client and brings its experience in managing open source projects to this market segment. We believe our existing user base will testify to our ability to add significant value and integrity to healthcare open source activities.
