JJWild becomes Platinum Partner with BridgeHead
In recognition of JJWild's extensive expertise and investment in infrastructure and professional services to support BridgeHead Software technology, BridgeHead announced on June 20, 2007 that JJWild has been elevated to a Platinum Partner and has earned certification at this program level. A long and successful relationship between JJWild and BridgeHead has enabled JJWild to become the largest volume partner of BridgeHead backup and disaster recovery products in the healthcare space.

The BridgeHead-JJWild relationship is based on a mutual commitment to providing solutions for users of the MEDITECH HCIS.

BridgeHead's ISB (Integrated Serverless Backup) and IDR (Integrated Disaster Recovery) techniques, developed with and specifically for MEDITECH, have been key components in over 100 JJWild installations. The ISB and IDR products from BridgeHead exploit SAN (Storage Area Network) technology and ensure recoverability of MEDITECH data, an important function that is not provided by generic backup products.

"We have been looking forward to an opportunity to articulate just how important JJWild's involvement is in deploying BridgeHead products, and we are pleased to welcome them as a Platinum Partner," said Tony Cotterill, President and Chief Executive Officer of BridgeHead Software. "SAN-based solutions can be complex and few healthcare organizations have the internal experience to integrate and manage data recovery, storage management, and the unique aspects of MEDITECH software. JJWild's services are key in making this sophisticated offering cost-effective and easy to operate."
