Pragmatix Enables Helix Health to Mobilize its Company
Quickly
Founded in 2007, New York City-based Helix Health is a startup
company providing personalized medicine and counseling to
consumers. Their goal is to provide better quality service,
more efficiently and at lower cost while maintaining client
privacy and security.

- Establish secure link to online medical data repository
from Helix web site
Business Results

Helix Health needed secure and mobile business applications
to gain traction fast. Pragmatix recommended Pragmatix Gold,
a flexible managed hosting solution that can handle all
its technology needs now and in the future — an important
consideration for this fast-moving startup.
With an aggressive business plan that calls for rolling
out new offices nationwide, Helix Health needed a skillfully
designed web site with reliable, full-proof hosting services.
The new company also needed to enable the secure flow of
digital information among field staff as well as establish
an access point from the Helix Health website to a third
party hosting digital patient records.
Helix staff utilized high-speed Internet enabled laptops
together with high-powered mobile phones (Palm Treos) to
communicate and share information from the field. They needed
to securely update client information wirelessly to a central
server. The shared file access and website, built by Pragmatix
are being designed so that they can be upgraded easily as
the Company grows. Information transmitted is safe and secure
and client data remains confidential.
"I was referred to Pragmatix
through IBM’s helpdesk in 2005 when we were looking
to start our company. After speaking with Bill Abram, who
provided great council, we realized that we did not have
the budget to launch the IT services we knew we needed.
Over the course of two years, Bill counseled me and developed
a working knowledge of what we wanted and needed so that
when we were ready to launch in 2007, we got up and running
in no time. Not only was everything done at an unexpected
speed, but Pragmatix has been the most reliable and responsive
technology partner we’ve ever worked with. "
