TEKHNE is an ARTech's Gold Solution Partner company from
Argentina that started operations in 1977 with a strong orientation towards

and software and migration of applications.
The company, led by Rodolfo Montonati, is integrated by
over one hundred professionals highly qualified in Health Care Coverage,
Consulting Services, Organization and Methods and Information
Technology.
We were among the first ones to believe in GeneXus in the
early nineties, remembers Valeria Montonati, TEKHNE Consulting Services
Director. "After an extensive market research, we put high stakes in GeneXus at
that time, and now, after more than 10 years of using GeneXus, practically 100%
of our solutions are developed on GeneXus", she added.
TEKNHE develops and markets the following products and
solutions:
- Health Care Information System- A
System for the Management of Services for Health Administration Bodies such as
Social Health Plans (national, provincial, senior staff, mixed), Prepaid and
Provincial Institutes.
- IT-HOSPITAL- Comprehensive Hospital

hospitals and clinics, both in the service and administrative and accounting
aspects. Its comprehensive architecture allows using it as a single system,
with several users and destinations, preventing the generation of information
islands and information shortage sectors.
- System for Retirement and Pension
Funds is a development for the social security area both for pension
funds, clearing houses and AFJP.
- SiCon- Information
Technology-Accounting System. Due to the strategic structure and positioning
within the organization "SiCon" Administration-Accounting System, it is mainly
aimed at solving management information requirements in a fluent and
integrated way.

"GeneXus allowed us to keep in step with technological
changes without substantial impact on our products or our work team "says
Valeria Montonati. And, depending on the customer's situation, traditional and
modern environments and versions are used together, while traditional versions
are gradually migrated (to Java/ .Net.), explained the Consulting Services
Director.
"Additionally, GeneXus is also our choice at the time of
helping our customers and prospects in the updating and/or migration process of
their traditional solutions that are no longer valid or functional due to
obsolescence. For example, we have migrated 100% of OSFATLYF applications from
native AS/400 to open, visual platform and we are currently replicating the
process through agreements with Obra Social Luis Pasteur and FUTURA AFJP",
Montonaty explained.
Nowadays, thanks to the most recent GeneXus tools (DBRET,
Patterns) combined with our business know how, times have been optimized
enabling us to carry out this migration process in a record time as compared
with a traditional programming scheme, said Montonati.
Using Patterns we could migrate a customer service
application from RPG to a full Web version in less than one man month, when it
would have taken three times that effort to do it in the "traditional" way,
pointed out the TEKHNE Consulting Services Director.
Some of their major customers are Caja de Jubilaciones de
la Provincia de Córdoba (Pension Fund), FUTURA AFJP S.A.,Apross (former IPAM),
