Real-Time Insights Enable Faster Issue Resolution and Better Care for NHS Patients

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK), provider of the leading software platform for real-time Operational Intelligence, today announced that the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) is using Splunk® Enterprise to support the Spine upgrade. Spine is a collection of national applications that connects clinicians, patients and local service providers throughout England to essential national healthcare services. This includes the Electronic Prescription and Summary Care Record services, as well as Choose and Book, which enable patients to book a hospital or clinic appointment online.

Splunk Enterprise is used by the Spine team to monitor performance, investigate issues and provide reporting to ensure the services are running smoothly. More than a dozen national IT systems and services were migrated to the new Spine in the space of a weekend, following months of rigorous planning, testing and development. The team relied on Splunk Enterprise to identify issues during the switch.

"The Spine is behind some of the most important services within the NHS in England and we're pleased that HSCIC could count on Splunk to deliver value right away," said Bill Cull, vice president, global public sector, Splunk. "The power of Splunk technology in IT operations gives our customers the real-time insight they need to keep mission-critical systems performing and make better decisions. Splunk customers typically see the tremendous ROI in machine data almost immediately, and more and more, they are having 'aha' moments during the proof of concept - even before Splunk software is in production."
