Zimmer is a Trailblazer

Zimmer is a global leader in musculoskeletal health. Our purpose as a company is to restore mobility, alleviate pain and really help people improve their quality of life.

We have a tremendous partnership with healthcare professionals. So much of what we do is trying to make the most of that collaboration.

We were really being challenged at delivering information to our teams, a timely and consistent method.

We were looking for something that can become sort of an integration layer. What we built in our mobile application was a very simple framework and that whole thing was built out in Force.com.

The main driver was this idea of instant on and instant access. Healthcare in general is going mobile.

You can take it into an or you can take it around the halls of the hospital with him.

Two steps to an actual resolution of a question that a surgeon might have. A very simple visual that you can take up to a surgeon in a two minute conversation, point to a hip, point to a new technique that might be interesting for the surgeon and give them the product information right there.

It's all relevant, it's all timely and it just makes sure that we're getting a very good, consistent message out into the marketplace.

Today. It's all about social communities. It's about collaboration. We are creating a way of being of how you interact with our patients, with our surgeons. You can absolutely leverage force.com to create something very unique.

It's all about patient comfort and patient care and making sure that we're equipping that surgeon with the information and devices they need to be better at doing what they do every day.
