Australian listed health information technology vendor, iSOFT, has scored new contract wins in Germany and Malaysia in two deals worth more than $9 million over five years.
In Germany, iSOFT has signed up its sixth
early-adopter of its next-generation Lorenzo e-health solution with a
$2.5 million contract with the Christophorus-Kliniken hospital group to
upgrade hospital information systems (HIS) at its three hospitals in
the Coesfeld district of North Rhine-Westphalia.
And, in Malaysia iSOFT has sealed a contract with Systematic
Conglomerate, a Kuala Lumpur-based prime contractor, for licensing and
services at three of the nine Malaysian public hospitals that use
iSOFT’s hospital information system.
The Malaysian contract, initially worth $6.5 million over five years,
has the potential, according to iSOFT, for revenues of up to $11.5
million if the hospitals take up an option to extend the services
agreement for an additional three years.
iSOFT executive chairman & CEO, Gary Cohen, said the initial two
phases of the German hospital contract, which include the first Lorenzo
components and an upgrade of iSOFT’s ClinicCentre HIS solution, were
valued at $1.2 million in license fees and services plus $447,000 in
support and maintenance services over five years. An optional third
phase, which includes additional Lorenzo functionality, is worth a
potential $870,000, Cohen added.
“This is further evidence that our new Lorenzo technology is gaining
traction with our existing client base in Europe. It’s part of our
broader strategy for Lorenzo outside of the UK’s National Programme for
Information Technology.”
In the German contract, Cohen said the first Lorenzo elements and
iSOFT’s collaboration suite (iCS) would provide a new electronic
patient record (EPR) for GP’s to access hospital patient records using
standard web browsers.
