Mirth’s Open Source Roots

● Mirth makes use of open source

infrastructure to lower total cost of

ownership:

○ Linux, Java, PostgreSQL, Jasper

Reports

● Modular Expansion

○ OSGi Framework

○ Mirth Connect Plugins

○ Mirth Results Agents

○ Mirth Results Reports

● Documented API

○ SOAP/REST

○ Over 300 Methods

Commercial Extensions• Functions that extend and simplify

the Connect solution.What is it?

• Download and install these

extensions, plugin’s, into existing

instance of Connect.

Why should I? • Mirth generated/supported code

so your organization doesn’t have

“to recreate the wheel”.

How do I get

it?
