In December 2016, Becton Dickinson announced the implementation of Pyxis ES compatibility with the Windows 10 Internet of Things operating system, which will provide long-term support and enhanced information security for medical drug management systems.

BD and other manufacturers of medical solutions asked Microsoft and wanted to support this OS with a specific structure in order to reduce the negative effect that our customers face by updating the OS every four to five years, says Ranjit Banerjee, vice president of global BD Medicine Management Solutions. - With fewer challenges associated with upgrades and an increased number of regular innovations, health care providers will be able to focus more on improving patient conditions, while BD continues to develop innovation, making it safer, easier and more efficient to manage medicines - from dispensing in pharmacies to delivery to bedside.

Becton Dickinson has long partnered with Microsoft to ensure compatibility of companies' solutions. By December 2016, Becton Dickinson is testing Windows Server 2016 and SQL Server 2016 with Pyxis ES.^[1]
