Good day. iNTERFACEWARE is now entering it's fifth phase. The Canadian organization has been relieved of their responsibilities.
Please contact eliot.muir@interfaceware.com who is now the only remaining member
of the team. I would be quite relaxed about it. I am the only one that really contributed true value. Every major innovation
in Iguana was due to me and I found my team contributed a lot to the friction of making the business work well.
I'm freely sharing the code to the license generator for Iguana 6 but not one which generates codes to support log encryption with
that product since I thought the implementation of the code for Iguana 6 was brain dead. Like many things it got forced on me with
my better judgement. I don't think sharing the code for Iguana 6 widely is a good idea. The code would be impossible to make secure
against attacks - obscurity is the best defense.
Tomorrow I'll see if I can remove the licensing logic of Iguana X and figure out if we can distribute it through one of the package
management systems. I hope they are not as bureaucratic as going through an AppStore. If it is then I will jury rig something up with Curl
or similar. To make building easier I will remove much of the functionality like CURL, OpenSSL definitely HTTP2 (I totally distrust that
code since it's from Google (new slogan - Do Evil. It pays well).
I have a half set up server in Germany. Ya da hav de good code da. And yaaas Eliot have the dee good sense de humour!
Iguana 6 license generator (with permanent licenses) and
Iguana X license generator (with permanent licenses I think?) and
Lots of fun plans with Iguana X and we'll see what happens with 6.
My goal is for Iguana to achieve 100% marketshare of the healthcare data exchange market which should not be that difficult to
achieve once I get rid of the legacy friction generated by my ex-employees. The truth hurts. Soon I hope to migrate off
this website since it's based on Hubspot technology which is diffcult to optimize. But I will always focus on the biggest bottleneck.
Still Rome was not built in a day and so I am using it as a communication channel for now. I'm available on these numbers:
- 1 345 325 1240
- 1 647 283 6785
- Zoom tonight.
Damn - things become so much easier when you can control your own website as a CEO instead of having to argue about messaging.
It would appear that the most common job in iNTERFACEWARE was managing license codes since the product itself was really stable. Wow.
As a CEO it's hard to see the truth about your business.
iNTERFACEWARE was already a fully virtual organization mainly based in Canada. Now it will be mainly based based in the Cayman
Islands which where I moved to over a year and a half ago. I really prefer both the social and physical climate here. It's very
pleasant.
Iguana 6.1.5 will be renewed since it's really the only serious option for people running high workloads. Iguana X on the other
hand needs to be completed. I am looking forward to demolishing our competitors. Our products have often lacked, but lets face it,
Rhapsody, Mirth, Cloverleaf and all those awful products are even worse. I am looking forward to finishing what I began.
FAQ: Iguana Overview
What is Iguana, and how does it help with integration?
Iguana is a high-performance integration engine that enables secure, real-time data exchange between a wide variety of systems. It supports integration across EHRs, LIS, RIS, PACS, RCM, billing platforms, CRMs, and more, using standard and custom data formats such as HL7, FHIR, X12, XML, and CDA/CCDA. With Iguana, organizations can streamline data interoperability, automate workflows, and unify disconnected systems within a single, scalable platform.
Is iNTERFACEWARE a service-based integration provider?
No. iNTERFACEWARE provides Iguana, a powerful integration engine that empowers your team to build, manage, and maintain your own interfaces. Unlike service-based models (where a third party manages integrations for you), Iguana puts the tools directly in your hands, giving you full control, visibility, and the flexibility to adapt interfaces to your specific systems and workflows.
That said, you're not on your own. We offer optional Professional Services to help accelerate your success — whether you need assistance developing your first interface, creating a proof of concept, or tackling a complex integration challenge. You stay in control, with expert support available when and where you need it.
What makes Iguana different from other integration tools?
Iguana stands apart from 'drag and drop' platforms and rigid middleware by giving developers direct, code-level access to every part of the integration. Built for complex and custom workflows, it provides a scriptable environment with live debugging, real-time testing, built-in version control, and support for high volume processing. This design gives technical teams unmatched control, agility, and transparency, without sacrificing speed or reliability.
What types of organizations use Iguana?
Iguana is trusted by over 800 organizations internationally across a wide range of industries that require secure and flexible data integration. It is used extensively in healthcare, life sciences, insurance and revenue cycle management, public health, research and education, and supply chain and logistics. Customers include hospitals, diagnostic labs, payer networks, public health agencies, digital health vendors, and organizations in adjacent sectors where real-time, high-reliability data exchange is essential.
What types of systems and workflows can Iguana support?
Iguana integrates with a wide variety of systems, including Hospital Information Systems (HIS), Laboratory and Radiology Systems (LIS/RIS), PACS, Billing and Claims Systems (BIS), Health Information Exchanges (HIEs), mobile apps, medical devices, and databases. It supports complex workflows such as claims processing, radiology and diagnostic result delivery, device data ingestion, order and report routing, and data exchange across clinical, financial, and operational systems.
Can Iguana integrate with any EHR system?
Yes. Iguana can integrate with any EHR system, including Epic, Cerner, Meditech, Athenahealth, and others. It supports integration through protocols such as HL7, FHIR, REST APIs, and direct database connections. Rather than relying on rigid connectors or vendor-controlled services, Iguana gives you full flexibility to build interfaces that match the specific requirements of each system.
What data formats and standards does Iguana support?
Iguana supports HL7 (2.x), HL7 v3, FHIR, CDA, CCD, X12, NCPDP, EDI, JSON, XML, CSV, plain text, and proprietary/custom formats. It allows you to normalize, transform, and route virtually any message type.
Can I see a live demo of how Iguana works?
Absolutely. You can schedule a personalized demo with one of our integration experts. We’ll walk you through the platform, answer your technical questions, and show you how Iguana can support your specific integration needs.
