Case Study: Medical Data Systems achieves reliable, high-performance database connectivity with Progress DataDirect for ADO.NET

Medical Data Systems eliminates blocking lock errors with Progress DataDirect ADO.NET

Medical Data Systems (MDS), a healthcare revenue cycle management company, needed to ensure the error-free loading of high-volume, time-sensitive medical data. After an upgrade to their Sybase ASE database, they encountered "blocking locks" that halted file processing. To avoid repeatedly recoding their custom applications for specific databases, they turned to Progress Software, utilizing their DataDirect for ADO.NET providers.

The solution from Progress Software provided a 100 percent managed wire protocol architecture that connected directly to the database, eliminating the need for custom coding or reliance on vendor client libraries. This resulted in reliable, high-performance connectivity that resolved the blocking lock issue. MDS achieved a state of being "database agnostic," allowing them to update or change databases without application revamps, thereby improving efficiency and avoiding vendor lock-in.
