Three years ago, a high-tech Colorado company deployed an old-fashioned weapon in the war against rocketing drug costs.

StorageTek opened an in-house pharmacy at its 2,000-employee headquarters and is now saving $110,000 a year.

"Employees save, and the corporation saves money," said Wellness Services Manager P.J. Hollister.
