Ced Bufton
Ced is founder and CEO of Bidetime Limited, one of the largest IBM Cognos partners in the UK and a lead supplier to the Healthcare market.
Ced began his computing career programming mainframes in the 1970s. He founded Bidetime in 1984 as a vehicle for his Data Management consultancy and, after involvement in large systems design in multiple industries, ‘discovered’ Cognos PowerPlay whilst project managing a Hospital Information System implementation.
Seeing this as far more ‘intellectually stimulating’ than Project Management, Ced partnered with Cognos in 1995 and since then has been utilizing BI and Performance Management products to ‘help the Healthcare industry get better with information’.
Ced and his colleagues have developed their ‘Performing Healthcare’ model, recognized with a ‘Powered by IBM Cognos Solution’ award in 2008.
Ced is an active member of the IBM Cognos partner community and is often heard ‘contributing’ his views at partner and user conferences!
