Satyam Computer Services announced that both of its
submissions to the 2008 IDG Computerworld Honors Program (CHP) received 21st
Century Achievement the top Awards at the Computerworld Honors Program Laureate
Medal Ceremony and Gala held at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium. The CHP is the
longest running global program to honor individuals and organizations that use
IT to benefit society. The Computerworld
Honors Program unites Chairmen and CEOs of the world's foremost information
technology companies to recognize the most outstanding user achievements in
technology each year. The technology achievements honored by this program are
preserved and protected in national archives, and in over 350 universities,
museums, and research institutions throughout the world.
Satyam submitted case studies on Byrraju Foundation and the
Emergency Management and Research Institute (EMRI), in the not-for-profit and
healthcare categories, respectively. Both organizations are located near
Satyam's headquarters in Hyderabad,
India, and both
work extensively with the provider. The Byrraju Foundation was honored for its
program to deliver electrocardiograms and tele-cardiology consulting to Indian
citizens in rural areas of the country via videoconferencing. This new
initiative has already provided thousands of people with fast, high-quality EKG
services and cardiology consulting, costing less than $1 per patient.
Computerworld recognized EMRI for its Call 108
service, a program based on emergency numbers such as 911 in the United States and 112 in Europe.
The service provides end-to-end emergency services (medical, police and fire)
to people in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat
and Uttarakhand. It includes free, quality medical treatment via an
ever-growing network of ambulances and hospitals. EMRI has been exceptionally
successful. It handles more than 1 million calls per year and saves thousands
of lives every month. The program is being replicated in Madhya Pradesh, Tamil
Nadu and Rajastha-three other large Indian states. When services are available
in these six states, EMRI will cover a population greater than 300 million with
more than 2,000 ambulances, making it the world's largest integrated emergency
services provider. Additionally, EMRI aims to be available across India by 2010.
