Tieto acquires Intensium to strengthen healthcare market position
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
TIETO CORPORATION PRESS RELEASE 29 JUNE 2010 at 2.00 PM EET
The acquisition of the business operations in the Finnish healthcare IT
solutions provider Intensium Oy expands Tieto's industry leading position in
Europe. Intensium's business consists of two solutions: benchmarking for
healthcare service providers and management of healthcare workflow. The business
will be transferred to Tieto on 1 July 2010. Intensium's 17 employees will move
to Tieto as continuing employees on the same day.
Intensium has the leading position in providing benchmarking services for
healthcare service providers in Finland. The benchmarking service, provided as a
SaaS service, monitors the customer's care process performance generally by
assessing where there are gaps between their own performance and the other
members of the benchmarking consortium. Organizations can use these assessments
to identify best practices they would like to adopt. The healthcare workflow
management solution is used in Finnish hospitals. The solution provides an
immediate possibility to standardize the customer's care process, eliminate
redundant steps, and intensify the use of special know-how.
"This acquisition is a natural step of executing our strategy and improving our
offering portfolio. I'm pleased to see how this enhances our competences and
ability to offer new advanced measuring and benchmarking tools to European
healthcare service providers. With these tools, our customers are able to
further improve the quality and efficiency of their services," says Arto Ryymin,
responsible for the Healthcare & Welfare business in Tieto.
"Our main objective has been to promote our healthcare customers' ability in
continuous improvement. Valuable collaboration with Tieto has convinced us that
together we are able to provide outstanding solutions and services for
healthcare organizations," says Kari Lappalainen, CEO of Intensium Oy.
Tieto helps healthcare and welfare organizations to improve the quality and
efficiency of their services. We enable our customers to optimize processes,
reduce waiting times, secure the flow of information, make high quality
