Executive Summary

Cloud computing is one of the hot topics of our day. And it deserves all the attention. Why? Because it has the potential to deliver a wide range of innovative services for the management of infrastructure, development platforms, software applications and complex business processes more efficiently and cost-effectively than ever before. It will also speed up the development of intelligent, proactive “next gen” documents, which will improve the productivity of Knowledge Workers around the world. 

But several challenges must be addressed before the cloud becomes a widely accepted paradigm for computing. There are concerns about data security, privacy and regulatory compliance. Not to mention ongoing debate around public vs. private vs. hybrid clouds.

NORWALK, Conn. — Xerox’s (NYSE: XRX) disease surveillance and outbreak management software, Maven® Outbreak Management Software, has been updated to be hosted in the company’s secure cloud so public health agencies and other organizations can get immediate, secure access to use it in the fight against Ebola.

Maven is configured to provide contact tracing for Ebola and other communicable diseases. In the absence of a vaccine, contact tracing – analyzing who is at risk from contact with an infected person – is one of the most important tools available to contain diseases like Ebola and prevent widespread outbreaks. Privacy and security are important aspects of any system that manages public health information, and Maven is a secure, HIPAA-certified platform.

Maven has been deployed in public health agencies in 12 U.S. jurisdictions and two states in Australia.
