We believe that the healthcare industry hasn't done a great job of using IT.
Have you ever seen a major health IT system up-close? Many are long in the tooth (to say the least), with heavily-interdependent proprietary components, several "one-off" connections to other legacy healthcare systems, clunky user interfaces, and ancient mainframe databases that are virtually black holes for data.
We believe the first step in improving health IT is to "unstick" the data--to extract it from legacy systems and distribute it to the people, applications, and services that need it. To that end, Axial is on a mission to create an open source interface engine with the world's largest library of pre-configured connectors.
We are making a FOSS edition of Axial 360, a Mulesoft-powered interface engine available as a free download. Our vision is that users will download Axial 360, create connectors to their legacy systems, and contribute those connectors back to the Connector Library for others to use. Axial Project (the community arm of Axial Exchange) will host this free library of pre-configured connectors.
We have aligned with the good people at Mulesoft and Red Hat who also believe that open source is part of the solution for health IT.
Health IT is big, bulky, and complex. If you'd like to join the cause to fix it, download Axial 360 today!
