InterSystems IRIS: Now that is what I call a Data Management Platform

BLOOR Opinion Article

This article from UK Analyst Bloor Research recognises the capabilities and advantages of InterSystems IRIS data platform as an ‘innovative and powerful data management platform’ and it’s Smart Data Fabric capabilities offering a market differentiator.

“The days of running on one type of database architecture, usually SQL based, is long gone.

As real-time monitoring, growing market eco-systems and AI have grown in importance most large enterprises have multiple different types of databases, from time-series, to graph, to vector, to object stores, each creating their own silos. Trying to keep data warehouses and data lakes up to date in a very fast-moving business environment is very difficult and presents real challenges when only real-time, or very near real-time data for analytics from multiple sources will do.

But that is exactly what the Smart Data Fabric facilitates.”

Paul Bevan
Research Director: IT Infrastructure

InterSystems IRIS data platform combines operational, analytical, and data fabric capabilities with a comprehensive interoperability platform to deliver high performance for real time analytics and mission-critical applications.

InterSystems Data Studio offers a new approach to accessing data, delivering the right data to the right person at the right time, in a secure and controlled environment. A fully managed, self-service, cloud solution with all the necessary components to create and maintain a smart data fabric, it allows data analysts, data stewards, and data engineers to access and process stakeholders' requests with minimal development.

Data Integration Key to Achieving Needed Breakthroughs in Healthcare When peers from other industries ask why data hasn’t driven comparable breakthroughs in healthcare, the answer is usually hiding in plain sight: clinical and administrative data still live in different systems and “speak” different digital languages. Integrating them is a prerequisite for the next wave of progress—better care, better patient experience, and better operational performance at the same time. Fortunately, there are now multiple mandates spurring this integration, from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requiring Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources APIs, to National Committee for Quality Assurance embracing digital quality measures, to enforcement of prohibitions against information blocking. Health plans and providers, however, must guard against swapping these two longstanding data siloes for several new ones.

Overview An eye surgery center was losing patients. Not to competitors, but to no-shows. Eighteen percent of scheduled appointments went unfilled every week. Four full-time staff members spent their days calling roughly 500 patients, trying to confirm appointments. When that didn't work, the clinic overbooked randomly, hoping the math would balance out. Some days every patient showed up, and the waiting room was chaos. Other days slots sat empty.

This special report from National Technology News evaluates the key talking points from the event including everything from data readiness and governance to organisational resistance, sustainability concerns, and the future role of humans in increasingly automated workplaces. AI has moved beyond experimentation and into the mainstream. Across industries, organisations are racing to identify use cases, improve productivity, and demonstrate returns on investment. Yet while enthusiasm remains high, many businesses are discovering that turning AI ambition into measurable operational impact is far more challenging than anticipated.

Agentic AI in Healthcare A multi-agent AI system recently diagnosed rare medical cases correctly over 80% of the time. That's four times better than seasoned human clinicians. It didn't get there by being smarter than any single AI. It got there by having multiple agents argue with each other until the errors got caught.
