Logicalis Earns HP 2010 Healthcare Elite Partner Designation

Who:  Logicalis, Inc., an international provider of integrated information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and services, has achieved HP PartnerONE Healthcare Elite status.

What:  Logicalis has been a healthcare solution provider for more than a decade, delivering solutions for award-winning healthcare organizations such as Northshore University Healthsystems, Lehigh Valley Hospital and Montgomery General Hospital to name only a few.  Now Logicalis has added HP PartnerONE Healthcare Elite status to its healthcare practice credentials.

HP introduced its PartnerONE Healthcare Elite program in May 2010 to help provide partners with a platform from which to highlight their expertise to customers.  The designation has been well received in the marketplace, as customers have an easier way of identifying HP partners, like Logicalis, who have expertise in healthcare solutions.

HP PartnerONE Healthcare Elite partners employ experienced professionals whose dedication, industry knowledge and IT specialization help them assess clients’ specific business needs and provide tailored solutions to meet them.

Logicalis Quote: “Billions of dollars in stimulus funds for hospitals and other healthcare organizations that achieve meaningful use of electronic health record (EHR) technology by 2011 under the 2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is driving a whole new set of solution providers into the market,” says Karen Burton, Logicalis’ Healthcare Business Development Manager.  “Healthcare organizations need to be able to tell who has the experience and skills needed to help them make the right decisions about all their healthcare-related technology needs.  The HP Healthcare Elite Partner designation recognizes partners that have invested in the healthcare industry.  We are proud to include   this designation in our healthcare credentials and to have been this kind of business partner to HP and to our healthcare clients long before ARRA made healthcare ‘the place to be.’”

HP Quote:  "HP PartnerONE Healthcare Elite partners, like Logicalis, are experienced in designing, installing and supporting healthcare solutions that can have an immediate impact on customers' businesses and people's lives," says Mike Humke, vice president, Public Sector, Solution Partners Organization - Americas, HP. "We're pleased to recognize Logicalis as a valued partner in leading with and delivering HP technologies and services to organizations in the healthcare segment."
