Infonaut is pleased to announce a formalized partnership with the Sault Ste Marie Innovation Centre (SSMIC), world-wide leaders in community health geomatics and geo-spatial data warehousing.

Working with the Innovation Centre’s Community Geomatics Centre (CGC), Infonaut has signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop a Location-Based Business Intelligence hospital application that utilizes GIS (Geographic Information System) and RFID (Radio Frequency ID) technology for real-time Hospital Performance Management, Infection Control and Patient Flow. SSMIC will play a key role in the development of a complete GIS hospital application.

SSMIC is a not-for-profit group that is focused on business incubation, support services, and market development projects with partners in information technology and companies in the knowledge economy to further economic development in Sault Ste Marie and the Algoma District. SSMIC’s award winning CGC provides managed and strategic GIS planning services to health and human services organizations as well as the municipal and utilities sectors.

As part of this exciting new partnership, Infonaut will be announcing shortly the opening of a development office in Sault Ste Marie to take advantage of a unique and specialized work-force, enable a closer working relationship with the CGC, and help the Innovation Centre with its goal to further develop and expand this important hub of innovation and IT expertise within Ontario.
