This marks the third consecutive year that Ensemble has been ranked number one in the KLAS survey. The ranking was reported in the 2008 Top 20 Best in KLAS Awards: Software and Professional Services report, an annual research report that surveys thousands of healthcare providers throughout the United States and Canada.

One hundred percent of the surveyed users who implemented Ensemble said they would buy the product again. Drilling further into the KLAS data, 100 percent of respondents would recommend Ensemble to their peers."*
"We are very pleased that InterSystems Ensemble has been recognised by the healthcare organisations surveyed by KLAS as the number one interface engine for the third year in a row," said Paul Grabscheid, InterSystems Vice President of Strategic Planning.
