Do Not Let Toni Steal Your iPad!

While I should probably tell you about IGUANA 5.5 or that we’ll be at booth #8944 at RSNA, you’re probably more interested in knowing, “who is Toni and why is he trying to steal my iPad?” About 5 months ago, Toni Skokovic joined the iNTERFACEWARE team as our new VP of Sales. I could fill […]

When are you going to replace your integration engine?

Below is a repost of my recent newsletter.  Please read and comment below. My team is off enjoying their summer vacations this week; leaving me responsible for our newsletter.

The Return of Internet Explorer

Yes, it’s true. With the latest release of Iguana, version 5.0.9, Internet Explorer 8 and 9 are now officially supported (again)!

My Dad Mervyn Muir – A pioneer meta integration engineer

The question of meta programming and modeling in health-care is a hot issue with HL7 v3 and the Reference Information Model (RIM).  When ever it comes up I think about my Dad’s TV remote.

The Rise and Fall of HL7

The title of this post might seem unusual from what is supposed to be an HL7 middleware vendor. But times are changing and that is not where I see our future. Standards do not exist in a vacuum. To be successful standards must address market needs and solve real problems so people can make or save money. Writing […]

Conversations From HIMSS11

Now that I’m back and well rested from the whirlwind of HIMSS, I wanted to share some of what I personally experienced at the conference.
