SeeBeyond Continues to Simplify Integration for Government Sector

SeeBeyond (Nasdaq:SBYN), a leading provider of eBusiness and Application Integration (eAI) solutions, today announced

that it will provide PwC Consulting(TM), a business of PricewaterhouseCoopers, with the technology to assist in the integration of Medicare's multiple accounting systems for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

A federal agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, CMS has contracted with PwC Consulting to create the Healthcare Integrated General Ledger Accounting System (HIGLAS), a fully integrated system designed to ensure payments are made accurately and efficiently and financial transactions are properly accounted for and recorded. The project will use SeeBeyond technology to facilitate the integration of HIGLAS with Medicare's existing systems, replacing the current financial systems with a centralized, web-based accounting system.

The SeeBeyond(TM) e*Insight(TM) Business Process Manager solution will assist CMS in tracking and collecting receivables more accurately.

"Public sector organizations are quickly realizing that the ability to manage and monitor core information across multiple systems in real time is critical," said Paul Hoffman, president of the Americas for SeeBeyond. "Using best of breed solutions, CMS will benefit from the seamless flow of real-time information, and gain new levels of visibility into processes that will improve data management and financial stability."
