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 register, visit

records," said Rick McConnell, chief executive officer, Latitude.

patient care processes." About Latitude Latitude Communications is
