Swedish Medical Center Relies on Novell Net Services Software

PROVO, Utah — April 4, 2001 —Founded in 1910 by a young Swedish emigrant that saw the need for a first-rate non-profit hospital in the thriving port town of Seattle, Swedish Medical Center has long been known in the Pacific Northwest as the hallmark for excellence in health-care. In recent years, the health-care organization has relied on Novell Net services software along with the system design and integration expertise of Novell Consulting to keep its information infrastructure in step with Swedish Medical Center's continued growth.

As Swedish Medical Center has evolved over the years, it has continued to hold fast to its vision of being the best non-profit medical facility in the Pacific Northwest. With this vision in mind, it recently formed an alliance with Providence Seattle Medical Center, adding that health-care provider's campus and more than 1000 employees to the Swedish family. The joining of these two great institutions necessitated a monumental effort to integrate their diverse and complex information infrastructures. To facilitate the process and ensure its success, Swedish Medical Center engaged the help of Novell Consulting.
