Healthcare informatics firm Eclipsys has reached an agreement to buy Sysware Healthcare Systems, a developer of laboratory information systems based in Southfield, MI.
Eclipsys and Sysware have been collaborating since 2004, when they signed a deal enabling Eclipsys to remarket Sysware's LIS software as Sunrise Laboratory as part of a comprehensive Eclipsys software suite. The acquisition contract acknowledges the value of an integrated laboratory information solution as a core module of Eclipsys' Sunrise Clinical Manager suite of enterprise-wide clinical solutions, according to the company.
The deal is expected to close in July and also includes Sysware's software development organization in India. It is projected that all current Sysware employees will become employees of Eclipsys, adding approximately 130 employees in North America and Baroda, India.
