Sydney, July 20, 2010 (ABN Newswire) - iSOFT Group Limited (
ASX:ISF), one of the world's largest healthcare information technology companies, has won the 2010 Asia Pacific, Frost and Sullivan Hospital Information Systems Company of the Year award.
The award acknowledges iSOFT's achievements in the hospital information systems market, and used the following criteria to benchmark its performance against two key competitors:
- Growth strategy and implementation
- Degree of innovation in business process
- Leadership in customer value and market penetration
- Revenue and market share growth
The award recognised iSOFT's ability to adopt the strategy of expanding and strengthening its core competencies through the acquisition of key companies such as Patient Safety International Pty Ltd (PSI) that uses an ontology comprising a comprehensive set of terms developed by the Australian Patient Safety Foundation. In addition, iSOFT acquired Bridgeforward, a US healthcare application integration software developer, and Hatrix Pty Ltd, a company that focuses on electronic medication management systems.
Frost & Sullivan also acknowledged iSOFT's increased investments in R&D over the past 12 months on new product launches such as iSOFT Aged Care and Lorenzo for the Asian market. It was also recognised that iSOFT has won a number of contracts in the Asia Pacific region providing more integrated solutions to support healthcare provider organisations' whole IT infrastructures.
Increased annual revenues and overall market share growth were also key, as was iSOFT's ability to gain new customers in the Asia Pacific region and maintain a focus on providing well-designed hospital information systems, giving it a competitive edge.
The award was received by Karen Pwee, General Manager - Singapore, on behalf of Dr Wim Botermans, Managing Director - Asia, at the Best Practices Award Reception in Singapore. "The success of iSOFT is due to the company-wide dedication to innovation and our commitment to research and development, industry leadership, and our technological advancements in applications to improve healthcare," Karen Pwee said.
