Microsoft's Connected HHS Architecture Vision
Harmony has long been in alignment with Microsoft’s Connected HHS Architecture Vision. This vision is predicated on a belief that organizations should leverage existing investments in technology in a “plug & play” SOA environment, focusing on maximizing the value of what they have while allowing for incremental enhancements to, and refresh of, their HHS IT solution over time.
Harmony chose to build its solution on Microsoft’s technology stack principally because it was the technology that most of our HHS customers had already adopted and found easiest to maintain given their finite IT resources. It represented “best value” to them, given its relatively modest cost, ease of deployment, low maintenance support requirements, and flexibility, while ensuring a standards-based solution that is fully scalable, extensible, and interoperable that didn’t box them in to a solution that couldn’t grow and adapt as their organizations changed.
