Adelaide-based network specialist  MIMP has installed one of the fastest privately-owned wireless networks in the world to help SA Heart Centres deliver better patient care.

When Australia’s largest cardiology group, SA Heart Centres, recognised that its computer network was holding back its development by an inability to transfer large medical imaging files between branches, it turned to MIMP connecting solutions.

Using secure 120 megabit-per-second licensed microwave links, MIMP installed one of the fastest privately owned wireless networks in the world, which went live in November 2007.

The major benefit has been better patient care through providing immediate access to centrally stored patient records from any SA Heart Centres cardiology branch throughout metropolitan Adelaide. “MIMP has future-proofed our technology with a high performance network and predictable costs. We are gaining a rapid return on our investment," said SA Health Centres past chairman Dr Bill Heddle.

Bendigo Bank has extended its successful implementation of the Empower-HR payroll system to 1200 employees of Adelaide Bank, with which it merged in November last year.

Since July 1, Empower-HR has replaced an outsourced CHRIS payroll system that was previously used by Adelaide Bank.  Bendigo Bank has used Empower-HR to pay its 4300 staff members since April 2006. The in-house system, which operates from the bank’s head office at Bendigo, now pays its staff of 5500 people at more than 500 retail outlets including bank branches, agencies and community banks.

Empower-HR equips Bendigo and Adelaide Bank to pay its direct employees one week and then, on alternate weeks, to pay the employees of community banks and agencies, who are independently employed on a wide range of workplace arrangements and certified agreements.
