Heron Technology Corporation (HTC) is a developer of healthcare application software modules that operate in the open systems environments of UNIX and Linux. This approach is more flexible and less expensive than the historical single-vendor / proprietary approach. Middleware also provides for the data transfer / communication between healthcare facilities, which would typically be using different IT systems from a variety of vendors.
The business software industry is at a crossroads. For too long, business software vendors have failed to meet the needs of mid-size companies that are increasingly frustrated with the high cost and complexity of traditional enterprise applications that were designed for multi-billion dollar corporations. By integrating the rich functionality of Infor's applications with Microsoft's intuitive technologies, we will be able to provide mid-size businesses with fast and affordable solutions that meet their functionality needs and are easy to use. This combination of power and simplicity is the direction our industry is headed.'
