To provide applications development and applications management services

HP Enterprise Services has signed a 10-year, $380m applications and technology services outsourcing agreement with Healthways, a provider of specialised, comprehensive offerings in health.

Under the agreement, HP will provide applications development and applications management services to accelerate the transformational development of the well-being improvement company's applications and technology infrastructure.

Through this agreement, Healthways' application, EMBRACE, will be able to support an increasing volume of customers and increasing market demand for multiparty integration, said the company.

To support the EMBRACE environment, HP will utilise its information technology infrastructure library (ITIL) based enterprise service management platform to provide a comprehensive and integrated offering.

In addition, Healthways will use the HP's Enterprise Applications Hosting, Server Management, Service Desk, Application Management, Workplace360 services and Network Management services.

Healthways president and chief executive officer Ben Leedle said that with a primary goal of healthier populations in private- and public-sector programs, EMBRACE experiences increased membership that requires added functionality.

"HP's deep healthcare expertise offered the best opportunity to enhance an already powerful platform with greater scalability and sustainable timely innovation at a lower cost for us," Leedle said.
