IBM to Manage Critical Apps Hosting for Achieve Healthcare Technologies

IBM (NYSE: IBM) will manage hosted applications for Achieve Healthcare Technologies, which provides clinical and financial software systems to the eldercare industry. Last quarter, Achieve picked IBM to manage hosting for their end-to-end applications and improve reliability, flexibility and increase system access for its clients.

Achieve’s business requires it to provide customers with continuous access to applications and services like Web-based tools that help reduce medical errors, falls and hospitalization rates, while increasing reimbursements and staff time with residents. Through its products and services, Achieve helps remedy long-term care challenges with electronic health records, point of care, enterprise reporting and IT services.

“Nearly 3,000 eldercare facilities around the country rely on us to manage everything from their financial management systems to their electronic medical records,” said Mark Tomzak, Achieve’s vice president of sales, marketing, alliances and professional services. “By having IBM manage many of our core electronic-business processes around hosting, we can further assure our customers that they will have uninterrupted access to their business-critical applications backed by the industrial strength of IBM.”
