Hauppauge, NY – May 2010 – SVAM International Inc., a Global Information Technology (IT) services provider said today it is teaming with Softheon, Inc., an emerging leader of business process software for healthcare payer organizations, to deliver next generation Healthcare Payer workflow solutions to joint customers.

Through the alliance, SVAM has built a best business practices team (BBP) for healthcare payers that are looking to transition from proprietary platforms to enterprise solutions such as Softheon. "It is a very well known fact that legacy systems no longer provide the benefits of more modern solutions, but unfortunately the proprietary nature of these systems has made it costly and difficult for healthcare organizations to replace them” said Anil Kapoor, President and Chief Executive Officer of SVAM. "We have assisted several healthcare organizations to overcome the switching difficulties and deploy alternatives such as Softheon in providing greatly improved technology at reduced cost.”

"We were impressed with the 'Cookbook for Legacy Healthcare System Replacements' SVAM team has developed. It is a step by step instruction manual with proven success that mitigates the risk of making such complex business process transition" Eugene Sayan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Softheon, said in a statement.

SVAM and Softheon team succeeded helping Emblem Health and Windsor Health to replace SunGard Macess solutions while bringing greater efficiencies to respective organizations. “The challenges associated with replacing such system at Emblem Health with 3.5 million memberships are significantly different than a much smaller organizations such as Windsor Health with 20 thousand members” Sayan added. “With this alliance, we are pleased to offer our in-depth industry knowledge and experience across the entire healthcare payer organizations. After all, there is a light at the end of this legacy tunnel…" concluded Kapoor.
