		Infrastructure Strategy Architecture - Microsoft For several years Providence Hospital had its core technology systems managed by HCA. In 2003, it decided to take back architectural and administrative control of its IT systems. Providence engaged Intellinet to architect, build, and deploy its corporate infrastructure and new hospital Intranet, utilizing Microsoft’s Windows 2003, Active Directory, Exchange 2003, and Sharepoint 2003. Providence was able to leverage these tools and the Intellinet healthcare best practices to build a scalable foundation from the ground up. Additionally, this new system provided Providence management with additional levels of security for the newly enforced HIPAA requirements.
		Hospital Portal – Intranet Strategy & Deployment Providence Hospital had a custom developed Intranet using Microsoft Visual Studio for all content and document posting. As the scope and content requirements of the Intranet grew, Providence knew that it had to leverage a packaged application to maintain all content, publishing, security, discussions, document storage, search, and integrated custom applications. Providence called on its technology partner Intellinet to build an Intranet strategy that leveraged its current Microsoft infrastructure. Microsoft’s Intranet portal software, Sharepoint 2003, was deployed and all content was redirected and integrated into this new portal environment. By leveraging the built-in functions of the SharePoint application and Intellinet packaged extension, management of the site has been significantly reduced while allowing for much greater productivity by IT and other business units.
