News Points

CGHS was looking to replace siloed technology across the organization, and chose to partner with Infor to integrate, improve and standardize processes. Infor was the right partner because of the company's strong expertise in the healthcare industry, proven track record for helping organizations achieve goals and flexibility of solutions available to service the organization's needs.

Infor Lawson Supply Chain Management will help CGHS reduce paperwork, follow-up, and administrative duties at individual hospitals and across the network.
