Executive Summary
This summary provided insight into Aire Logic's digital-first business goals, the
challenges associated with achieving digital success, and the tools and solutions
it intended to invest in to support its goals.
According to the research, Aire Logic has adopted or planned to adopt a digital
business strategy. This digital transformation strategy aimed to create
capabilities to fully exploit the possibilities and opportunities of new
technologies and their impact faster, better and in a more innovative way in the
future. A digital transformation journey required a phased approach involving a
variety of stakeholders, beyond internal or external silos and limitations. Here it
was considered that the end goals kept moving because the digital
transformation was a continuous journey, just like digital change and
innovation.
The purpose of this report was to engage in a comprehensive review of research
on strategic alliances over the past decade. After presenting a typology of
various forms of alliance governance, a recent analysis of alliance formation,
implementation management, and performance outcomes of Aire Logic's
collaborative activities are reviewed. The findings of the Strategic Alliance
developed and propagated as formalized inter-organizational relationships.
These cooperative arrangements represented a new organizational formation
that sought to achieve organizational goals better through collaboration than
through competition.
The report provided future research directions on partner selection, network
patterns and processes, understanding alliance integration through merger,
fission, and how to manage development dynamics. It ended with some future
directions for theory building and empirical research and eCommerce merchant
software and self-justifying solutions.

Introduction
Aire Logic partners with education and government despite its healthcare roots.
Software development teams and IT consultants can't work without cross-
organizational collaboration. While a business focus is vital, what matters is
their goal, and how they grow, profit, and affect the world. As an employee-
owned firm, they know their employees drive their services and products. They
only choose projects that inspire and assist their people, society, and research
and development.
Since 2007, Aire Logic has completed some of the world's largest medical
technology projects for the NHS and Singapore's government. They collaborate
with local NHS Trusts and councils on custom projects. They work with various
UK technology standards organisations to guarantee their clients' projects are
productive, relevant, and future proof. It advises national NHS boards, local
charities, and healthcare organisations on how to use technology transformation
to better patients and services.
Aire Innovate was founded after 30 years of strategic and technological
healthcare consulting. Aire Innovate provides a platform of digital products to
satisfy healthcare demands. This modular product model allows their healthcare
customers to improve and modify the technology over time, unlike one-off
programmes that cannot grow with changing needs. It offers off-the-shelf and
custom solutions.
Founders Mike Odling-Smee and Joe Waller have over 30 years of medical
technology experience. They met on the inaugural NHS Spine project, the
world's largest public healthcare platform (Aire Logic, 2022a).
Aire Logic is continuously developing; an example was when Aire Logic
created a digital CHAQ with Alder Hey's IT team. Forms4Health is Aire Logic's
versatile digital forms engine. Since March 2021, the team has sent 500 CHAQ-
linked texts per month. 350 CHAQs return monthly, with a 70% response rate.
This beats paper form returns, which had a 32% response rate. Healthcare
personnel, patients, and parents are pleased. The new enhancement enhances
digital CHAQ's consultation help (NHS, 2022).

developing its value proposition, a business model has been created (Perficient,
2022).

Integrating EPROMs with other healthcare applications can record entire patient
information. Patients can complete questionnaires or forms at home, reducing
clinic or hospital visits. Patients receive a text or email with a secure document
link. Going digital reduces the administrative burden of paper processes,
allowing clinicians to see more patients (Aire Logic, 2022a).
Air Logic has developed AireCase, which is a digital referral, triage, and case
management service. Staff can swiftly process patient forms and keep an audit
trail using an administration portal. Patients can register or self-refer online.
Patients can fill out forms on any device, saving time. Test findings and
diagnosis are centralised for a holistic patient experience. And avoid care delays
by notifying the correct healthcare professional. It allows them to examine and
move patients impeccably. It also makes it easier for healthcare teams across
businesses to access patient information, such as a treatment plan or medical
history, boosting communication, collaboration, and care.
A unified view of workflows is used to analyse and assess all referrals,
including history, status, and next steps. Healthcare workers can interact with
patients to acquire more information and identify the next steps. All data is
reportable. Access an analytical tool that improves healthcare decision-making,
patient safety, and reporting. It can be visualised from form data. Patient data is
analysed using data visualisation tools (Aire Logic, 2022a).

and career exploration. They can also learn business and teamwork skills
through daily operations.
Aire Logic provides healthcare, education, and government IT consulting. They
solve social and environmental problems with technology. Based on its
expertise in systems integration, system architecture and software development
life cycle, it offers a wide range of products and services. Aire Logic advises
charities, trusts, private healthcare groups and nations on technology
development.
Their methods can be used for short, fast tasks or long-term architectural
governance processes. EA Light provides flexible governance and strategic
tools and leverages the cost and quality benefits of Agile development in large-
scale Agile development environments (Aire Logic Limited, 2022a).
Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust (LTHT) and Aire Logic have been working
together for a decade and have been improving Yorkshire for the past year. In
2013, LTHT engaged Aire Logic to provide agile delivery advice on Patient
Pathway Manager and the trust then contracted Aire Logic to incorporate their
low-code digital forms engine to support their paperless plan. Aire Logic's
eForms solution digitizes many patient forms completed daily at various points
in the patient experience. Aire Logic is helping LTHT move its IT infrastructure
to cloud servers, which will provide cost savings, increased reliability, and
security (Health Tech Newspaper, 2022).
CRM, hosting, abandoned cart recovery, and payment processing for your
online empire.
PHP-savvy firms should use Adobe Commerce. Adobe Commerce is highly
customisable eCommerce software for larger, established organisations with
technical resources to construct and operate an online store.
Amazon is excellent for non-store builders. An Amazon store can complement
existing commerce methods. Amazon helps it gain new customers and brand
exposure. They'll eventually shop directly with people to circumvent Amazon's
fees and restrictions.
Free eCommerce software Shift4Shop is the finest. Shift4Shop provides robust
free shopping cart software for internet sellers. It can rapidly set up business
online purchasing, however, it lacks eCommerce features. It comes with
hundreds of major features and shops templates.
Successful businesses manage complex operations, purchasing and supplier
relationships, inventory control, contract services, product delivery, costs,
labour, and profit margins (Epicor, 2022).
4.2. Critically evaluate at least 4 solutions and select the appropriate one, with
justification, for your chosen business.
After reading all the Aire Logic reviews, I think they provide good strategic
advice on enterprise and solution design, interoperability and healthcare
standards, agile development, and best practices. Their consultants appear to
have substantial leadership expertise in major programmes and a deep
awareness of front-line needs where SaaS digital healthcare products help care
delivery. Aire Logic is a healthcare-focused ICT strategy, software, and product
development business that specialises in national strategic integration solutions.
Based on their expertise in systems integration, system architecture, and the
software development life cycle, they may improve their goods and services.
Christie NHS Foundation Trust contracted Aire Logic to deliver a data-centric
openEHR programme. The £1.6 million deal modernised Christie's EHR using
openEHR standards and harmonised with NHS England's Data Saving Lives
goal. Better's low-code and openEHR data platforms were chosen by Europe's
largest single-site cancer hospital.
Another recommendation can be to modernize and redesign more clinics. The
trust chose best-of-breed Aire Logic for software engineering, devops, and
architecture to deliver various EHR programmes after a thorough procurement
