WEST ORANGE,
N.J., APRIL 22, 2002 - ISH, Inc., a professional
services and business operations improvement company,
announced it has recently completed the company's
fifth successful implementation of Lawson™
Insight 8.0 within the healthcare industry. The
five ISH clients using the full suite of Lawson™
8.0 are: Rockingham Memorial Hospital, Aultman
Healthcare, Community Memorial Hospital, Greater
Baltimore Medical Center and Forrest General Hospital.
ISH has performed more than 90 Lawson™ software
implementations in the healthcare industry and
currently is working with 11 clients using Lawson™
8.0.
"ISH helped us
recognize the value in approaching the Lawson™
ERP System and the iPath ORIS System as one integrated
project," said Mike Hebrank, CIO of Greater
Baltimore Medical Center. "ISH's experience
in operations and expertise with the software
products helped us show a measurable return on
our investments in Lawson™ and iPath."
With fully Web-deployable
solutions, each of the ISH Lawson™ 8.0 clients
implemented the software as a proactive effort
to reduce operating costs and improve efficiencies.
The newest version of Lawson™ software provides
healthcare organizations with expanded modules
and applications to support workforce performance
analysis, online procurement and Web-based recruiting
and hiring capabilities.
"Not only does
ISH have a team of certified Lawson™ 8.0
specialists that intimately know the software,
but their people are completely familiar with
problem areas and challenges in the healthcare
industry," said Pitt Calkin, CFO of Forrest
General Hospital. "We were pleased with our
selection of ISH because their long history in
working with Lawson™ and Siemens proved
valuable to our success in realizing the benefits
we anticipated when we bought the software."
By maintaining a broad
skill-set across the leading software providers
and having consultants with industry-specific
expertise, ISH approaches a client's needs and
opportunities from a unique perspective and is
able to provide tailored solutions that fit each
client's particular situation.
"As one of Lawson's
oldest healthcare partners and the largest implementer
of Lawson™ Software in healthcare, we have
a firm grasp on the technology as well as specialized
expertise to provide services that improve our
clients overall business," said Jeffrey J.
Uliano, President and CEO of ISH. "Our approach
of 'Thinking Business Enabled by IT' keeps the
focus on achieving business improvements without
delaying the Go-Live date."
ISH views technology
and software as enablers for: improving financial
performance, creating effective workflow, re-engineering
processes and providing better patient healthcare.
ISH recently re-launched
its Web site (www.ishinc.com) to reflect the company's

About ISH:
Headquartered in West Orange, N.J., ISH
is a business operations improvement company.
In 1989, ISH was established as a hands-on professional
services firm with a unique business proposition:
to deliver exponentially greater value and measurable
return on IT investments and software applications
implementation.
ISH was founded on the
premise that most businesses waste significant
funds, executive time and effort re-engineering
new software packages to conform to their current
business processes, rather than re-designing new
processes and work flows to fully capitalize on
the power of their technologies and the abilities
of their people.
The marketplace has
enthusiastically confirmed this premise, and ISH
has now helped more than 500 clients nationwide.
ISH leverages insights and best practices to improve
clients' finance and operations performance in
the Healthcare, Higher Education and Hospitality
industries.
