PLANO, Texas, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Perot Systems Corporation
(NYSE: PER) (http://www.perotsystems.com) today announced that JJWild, a
company it acquired in August 2007, will fully transition its name to Perot
Systems, completing an important milestone toward full integration. Perot
Systems will now refer to the group as the MEDITECH Solutions Group which
reflects its ability to access the global information technology provider's
deep healthcare solutions expertise to benefit hospitals utilizing MEDITECH
products.
"Perot Systems has a longstanding reputation as the largest IT services
provider in healthcare, while the JJWild brand is synonymous with high-quality
MEDITECH optimization and support. We believe the new name leverages both
companies' strengths. The MEDITECH Solutions Group name is the culmination of
our respective organizations coming together to create healthcare's most
capable and creative professional services team -- one that remains dedicated
to the MEDITECH marketplace," stated Chuck Lyles, President of Perot Systems'
healthcare group.
The combined experience positions the MEDITECH Solutions Group to further
leverage its application and technology expertise in support of its customers
as they address the demands of today's patient safety and quality of care
initiatives. "We believe the breadth of offerings now available through the
MEDITECH Solutions Group within Perot Systems is invaluable in helping our
customers respond to healthcare's increasingly complex requirements," stated
Howard Messing, MEDITECH's President and COO.
"Combining JJWild's solid presence in the MEDITECH market with the
strengths of our brand and overall healthcare capabilities enables us to
better serve the MEDITECH community," said Berk Smith, Executive Vice
President for Perot Systems' healthcare group and global leader of the
MEDITECH Solutions Group within Perot Systems. "The acquisition has allowed
us to broaden our offerings to include new products and services like MSite
MEDITECH Hosting Solution and expanding clinical transformation services.
This, in addition to our long-standing offerings such as MEDITECH application
optimization, technology integration, and our JSite disaster recovery service,
has enabled us to build a broad portfolio of offerings that will be extremely
valuable for our MEDITECH clients," stated Smith.
