Healthways (NASDAQ: HWAY) crossed the .NET-Java EE software standards divide
to deploy a multimillion patient portal in just 5 months. ROI is expected within
a year. Rising healthcare costs and an aging workforce have contributed to Healthways'

to streamline its manual document management and fulfillment processes.
"Mainsoft has been fantastic to work with. Their technical staff was very knowledgeable
in the .NET space and was able to quickly assess our needs and drive us towards
rapid deployment of our first portal."
