About the Companies
Recip-e provides electronic prescriptions to the population of Belgium, making it easier to manage prescribing pharmaceutical products for doctors, dentists, and midwives across the country. Originally set up by the federal government to improve healthcare management, Recip-e securely manages records of treatments prescribed to patients and ensures pharmacies can provide medicines to patients. Recip-e is working with Proximus to support the country’s electronic prescription and healthcare service.
Proximus is the leading provider of telephony, internet, television, and network-based ICT services in Belgium, providing services to residential, enterprise and public customers.
The Challenge
Digital evolution is integral to the service provided by Recip-e. The needs of their healthcare providers clients are changing. As part of the digital transformation of the country’s healthcare system, Recip-e needs to continuously update and upgrade its applications to take advantage of new technologies.
Proximus was brought in to help with the organisation’s continued development, which included considering upcoming database technologies and approaches.
The Solution
To optimize their data and future-proof their infrastructure, Recip-e worked with Percona and Proximus to implement a fully available database infrastructure based on PostgreSQL that runs in clusters across two of Proximus’ data centre locations.
Supported by Percona, this PostgreSQL set-up provides improved application performance and delivers higher availability, protecting the business from potential downtime.
How Percona Made a Difference
The support provided by Percona during implementation was swift and precise, enabling Recip-e to tackle tricky blocking issues, improve performance, and ensure a consistent and highly available database set-up.
Percona continues to provide ongoing support, so Recipe-e can feel confident that they have comprehensive, responsive, and cost-effective PostgreSQL database experts on hand to help 24x7x365.
