Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) today announced that Oklahoma State University Medical Center has selected the Lawson S3 Enterprise Financial Management and Supply Chain Management suites. These software suites will help the healthcare provider automate its business and supply inventory processes and improve efficiencies – all geared toward helping the organization reduce operating costs. The contract was signed during Lawson’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, which ended May 31, 2009.
Oklahoma State University Medical Center, an osteopathic teaching hospital, was recently purchased from Ardent Health Services by a City of Tulsa trust. As part of the transition of management and operations, the trust launched a plan to improve business management and supply chain processes at Oklahoma State University Medical Center.
Oklahoma State University Medical Center chose Lawson for further upgrades because of its proven healthcare expertise and ease of use. The new Lawson applications will help Oklahoma State University Medical Center consolidate and automate its business processes to help reduce staff time and provide greater transparency and quicker access to information across its entire network. The Lawson solution also will help the hospital improve the efficiency and delivery of medical supply inventories. NaviSite, a Lawson partner, will provide hosting services for the enterprise applications.
