Case-Connect Selected as Force.com Forty Innovation Showcase Finalist

Scottsdale, AZ, November 18, 2009 --(PR.com)-- During the past year, software powerhouse Salesforce.com has been seeking the best innovators in the cloud computing industry. After viewing hundreds of demonstrations, the expert panel at Force.com has selected Case-Connect as one of the top 40 innovators of the year. The overall winner will be featured this week at Dreamforce 2009, the premier cloud computing event of the year.

Healthcare efficiency is a hot topic in the United States. The federal government has recently dedicated over $40 billion dollars to provide incentives for streamlined administrative procedures in the medical field. Case-Connect has entered the marketplace at a crucial time. “We are poised to be a major player in the healthcare IT revolution,” says Mark Roady, founder and CEO of Surgical Data Solutions. “Case-Connect brings new procedures and technologies to the table that will drastically improve the efficiency of surgical offices.”

Case-Connect is a healthcare IT application that helps surgical offices schedule cases using up-to-date technology. “Our goal is to provide surgeons with the tools that will help their practice,” says Roady. “We consistently hear about the scheduling challenges facing surgical offices, and Case-Connect is our way of eliminating most of those challenges.”

Case-Connect is gaining recognition as an important piece of administrative efficiency, right alongside the innovators in electronic medical records (EMR) and other healthcare IT measures. The Force.com finalist selection opens the doors to widespread recognition. Roady notes that “Case-Connect is the only application in the final showcase that is geared toward the healthcare industry. I think we are indeed showing ourselves to be a true pioneer in our niche.”

Salesforce judges will select the top overall application to be presented at Dreamforce 2009. This event is held November 17-20 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
