The Challenge of Scale
As a global leader in teleradiology, Everlight handles an immense volume of DICOM data daily. This data must be distributed, accessed, and processed at lightning speed to ensure the timely delivery of radiology insights to clinicians worldwide. However, as Everlight scaled, their existing systems were stressed.
“Our environment was reaching scale limitations,” Donaldson explains in the video. “We weren’t able to load balance the distribution of DICOM data into our core imaging technology very well.”
It was clear Everlight needed more than just a fix—they needed a revolutionary solution to maintain their high standards of service while accommodating exponential growth.
Enter DataFirst and Silverback®
Everlight found their answer in DataFirst and their flagship product, the Silverback® Workflow Engine. Donaldson highlights the pivotal role this technology played:
“Silverback® was the right approach for us. It unlocked infinitely more scalability for our business,” Donaldson shares. “It’s now the central cog, the mechanism handling all our DICOM data securely and at lightning speed.”
By centralizing and optimizing the handling of DICOM workflows, Silverback® eliminated bottlenecks and allowed Everlight to scale without compromise. This newfound capability not only enhanced operational efficiency but also ensured that Everlight could continue delivering on its commitment to provide top-tier teleradiology services globally.
A Partnership Built on Collaboration
Donaldson underscores the collaborative nature of Everlight’s relationship with DataFirst. The team at DataFirst didn’t just deliver a product; they tailored the Silverback® technology to meet Everlight’s specific needs.
“They really shaped the solution for us,” says Donaldson. “Their approach wasn’t about selling us a one-size-fits-all solution. They listened to our challenges and helped us gain better control over our DICOM workflows.”
This level of customization and understanding proved to be a game-changer, allowing Everlight to future-proof their operations while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to evolving demands.
The Future of Teleradiology
For Everlight, the partnership with DataFirst and the implementation of Silverback® have paved the way for continued leadership in teleradiology. With Silverback® enabling secure, high-speed data handling, Everlight is well-positioned to meet the growing demands of the healthcare industry.
Donaldson’s message in the video is clear: innovation and collaboration are at the heart of Everlight’s success. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and forming strong partnerships, they have turned challenges into opportunities, setting a new benchmark for teleradiology worldwide.
Conclusion
The insights shared by Andy Donaldson emphasize the transformative impact of the Everlight-DataFirst partnership. This collaboration exemplifies how the right technology, paired with a tailored approach, can drive growth and innovation in even the most complex industries.
