Cerner Corp. Chooses MeetingPlace Web and Voice Conferencing
Free Webinar: Hear How Cerner Is Reducing Costs, Saving Time, Improving IT
Control
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cerner Corporation , a
leading supplier of healthcare information technology, has selected
MeetingPlace(R) for web and voice conferencing companywide. MeetingPlace is
offered by Latitude Communications , a leading provider of fully integrated web
and voice conferencing applications.
Cerner is taking the paper chart out of healthcare, eliminating errors and waste
from the medical care process. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, the company has
5,000 employees, of which 40 percent are in satellite locations in the United
States, Europe and Australia. Seeking to reduce voice conferencing costs and add
web conferencing capabilities, Cerner purchased MeetingPlace Web 4.0. The
company uses web and voice conferencing for "Cerner Virtual University," a
client-training program, as well as for varied planning meetings.
"By year-end, we will have saved more than $600,000 only seven months after
using MeetingPlace," said Eric Siley, director of technology, Cerner. "In
addition to reducing costs, deploying our web conferencing on-premises helps us
maintain IT control and security. MeetingPlace is an integral part of our
collaboration infrastructure. Also, we've gained more functionality. Everyone
sees and annotates documents together as effectively as being in the same room.
Scheduling conferences is very easy through MeetingPlace's Outlook integration,
which is superior to that of other web conferencing solutions. The minutes we
save through automatic email updates and by using a single vendor add up to
hours each month."
Siley will lead a free webinar on Thursday, November 13 at 9 a.m. PST, during
which he will describe in detail the benefits that Cerner has gained by
deploying its web and voice conferencing in-house. He will share related hard
dollar cost-savings and the advantages of centralizing web conferencing. To

"Lives literally depend on accurate and expedient healthcare records processing.
To that end, Cerner has pioneered IT solutions that transform paper medical
charts into centralized electronic records," said Rick McConnell, chief
executive officer, Latitude. "We're pleased that Cerner has selected
MeetingPlace to expedite collaboration among its global staff, enabling Latitude
to contribute to accelerating the company's efforts in streamlining patient care
processes."
