Advanced Warning Systems, Inc. (AWS) Launches Software Consulting Services for the Healthcare and Life Sciences Industries; Services Help Clients Improve Software Usability and Information Delivery

CARLSBAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 8, 2006–Advanced Warning Systems, Inc. (AWS), a provider of advanced healthcare IT solutions, today announced the official launch of its healthcare and life sciences consulting services that enable clients to achieve significant performance improvement and cost savings through enhanced software design and implementation.

AWS Consulting provides software consulting services focused on improving the delivery of information to the end user through application of principles in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Services include usability analyses, advisement, strategic planning, evaluations, training, and custom software development.

“Our business model involves working closely with our clients to customize AWS’ software to their unique environment and needs,” said Miles N. Moore, President and CEO. “We concluded that our expertise in usability and information delivery could help clients realize measurable cost reduction and performance gain.”

AWS consultants conduct usability analyses, measuring before, interim, and completed state user performance. These analyses provide hard numbers relating to time, money, and resources lost, wasted, or misused as a result of software inefficiencies. Resulting improvements will be validated with measurable, verifiable statistics and return on investment.

“Most software is designed to be one size fits all, with little thought given to end user or environmental factors,” said JP Pollak, Vice President of Product Development. “By adhering to a user-centered design strategy with frequent user involvement and in situ usability testing, software is far more effective, completed sooner, requires fewer patches, and will be more widely adopted by users and customers.”

The AWS Consulting team consists of usability and software design experts, specializing in information visualization and architecture for highly complex and unconventional data problems. AWS consultants collaborate closely with clients to advise on and develop solutions that meet the needs of each unique environment.
