Business Wire
Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) today announced it has signed a
contract to provide multiple enterprise software suites to Sanford
Health & MeritCare. The healthcare organization, which is based
in North and South Dakota, selected the Lawson Enterprise Financial
Management and Supply Chain Management suites. It also opted for
Lawson Business Intelligence, Mobile Supply Chain Management, and
user productivity solutions Lawson Smart Office and Enterprise
Search. Lawson made the announcement during the annual Lawson
Conference and User Exchange, which opened yesterday in San
Antonio. The contract was signed during Lawson’s third quarter of
fiscal 2010, which ended Feb. 28, 2010.
Sanford Health & MeritCare merged in November 2009. It is
now the largest not-for-profit rural healthcare provider in the
United States. It serves patients in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska, and Oklahoma, and employs more than 18,000 people. As a
combined entity, Sanford Health & MeritCare needed to replace
its legacy systems with a single enterprise software system to
manage business activities, including financials and supply chain.
The Lawson system will now be used as the core enterprise system
for the merged organization.
Using the Lawson system, Sanford Health & MeritCare seeks to
improve efficiency throughout the organization’s supply chain and
finance activities. Lawson Mobile Supply Chain Management and
Lawson Business Intelligence will help the organization gain more
accurate and timely views into key operational data.
“Lawson’s healthcare expertise and industry-specific
applications have a proven track record helping healthcare
organizations improve efficiency and reduce costs through better
management of financials and supplies,” said Dennis Hofer, chief
application officer for Sanford Health & MeritCare. “We needed
a system that could better support our growth initiatives and
provide the insight we need to make better, more informed business
decisions. Lawson Smart Office and Enterprise Search will help us
through a more powerful user interface and search functions that
will help our employees gain greater value from our enterprise
systems.”
Lawson Smart Office and Lawson Enterprise Search, which were
introduced in April 2009, are the foundation of the Lawson user
productivity environment. Lawson Smart Office provides a smarter,
intuitive desktop environment, which helps bring together
enterprise applications, business intelligence, desktop tools and
group collaboration features. It helps simplify the enterprise
software user’s overall experience.
Lawson Enterprise Search is much like an Internet search engine,
but focused on relevant Lawson and non-Lawson data – even data
found in email systems. This helps deliver the right data, in
context to the work at hand, quickly and more efficiently.
“Healthcare organizations are discovering that crisp and
accurate management of data and information is essential as they
look to control costs and improve efficiency,” said Jim Catalino,
general manager, Healthcare, Lawson. “We understand this industry.
We focus on it, and we deliver solutions designed around the
specific challenges confronting hospitals and healthcare
organizations today. And by focusing on the needs of the software
user, we deliver systems that make it easier for people to find and
work with the data they need to make better, more sound business
decisions.”
