Fred Nxt uses cloud
March 14, 2014
The next generation of Fred
Dispense has been unveiled, and it
is powered by the cloud.
“Fred Nxt” was announced at
APP 2014 yesterday by Fred IT
Group ceo Paul Naismith as the
next generation of the dispense
software, which aimed to simplify
the more than 20 major services
that Fred Dispense connected to.
Utilisation of cloud computing
- remote servers deploying
applications via the internet
- allowed adaptation to rapid
change, Naismith said, and the
software would be highly versatile
offering mouse or touch interfaces,
in-store or remote, and run from a
single secure system using private
cloud infrastructure.
The company envisaged Fred Nxt
as a tablet based solution, with
functionality including consultation
timelines, full health record
availability, and secure messaging
with GPs and the consumer,
Naismith said.
Pharmacy wanted to deliver new
services but existing IT systems
would struggle to do so and to
match consumer expectations, but
using cloud services would solve
this, he said.
In-store trials would begin in May
with roll out from the second half
of this year, Naismith added.
