TriZetto to Integrate Erisco Facets with Oracle9i Database
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – January 15, 2002 – The TriZetto(R) Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: TZIX) today announced that it will offer a version of its Erisco Facets(R) managed care administration system for Oracle9i Database. Demand among healthcare payers -- in particular large, complex health plans -- was a key factor in integrating Facets with Oracle9i Database.
"This relationship will bring substantial value to the healthcare payer market," said Tony Bellomo, president of TriZetto's HealtheWare(TM) software unit. "We are now able to offer Facets' broad functionality and scalability in tandem with the premier Oracle9i Database. In addition, TriZetto expects to gain additional marketing and sales momentum through its affiliation with Oracle."
Erisco Facets is the industry's leading client/server system for managed healthcare payers. Erisco systems are used by more than 115 payer organizations, serving more than 70 million lives, including approximately one-third of Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans.
"The combined solution of Oracle's scalable and secure Oracle9i Database and Facets provides healthcare payers with a comprehensive, cost-effective business solution," said David Nesvisky, group vice president, Oracle Health Industries. "Given TriZetto's name recognition and Facets' market share in the payer arena, this offer helps provide Oracle significant opportunities in healthcare."
Availability
Facets for Oracle9i Database will be available from TriZetto on a licensed or hosted basis in Fall 2002.
TriZetto will continue to offer and support Facets with its current database configurations.
