PIP is the database management infrastructure at the heart of our FIS Profile real-time banking application. For the first time, the infrastructure has been separated from the financial application code and made available as a separate software layer under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The web page is at http://www.fidelityinfoservices.com/FNFIS/Markets/NonFinancialIndustries/Healthcare/PIP/default.htm and the software is available at Source Forge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pip) as a software appliance (QEMU virtual machine).
Caveats: 1. Although the underlying engine is mature, the packaging is brand new. At this time, it is better characterized as expert friendly than user friendly. If you want to play with it, please start with the Readme. 2. For anyone interested in using it to access VistA, PIP does not have a tool to map Fileman files. You can create tables and access them, but to access Fileman files, you will need to write code to map between files and tables.
