Seacoast Laboratory Data Systems Adds Six New Clients in 2004; 2005 Begins Strong
Seacoast Laboratory Data Systems Inc., a market leader in commercial and outreach laboratory and financial systems, signed agreements with six key customers in 2004 and opened 2005 with the signing of Atherotech (Birmingham, AL) to implement SurroundLab(TM)Plus LIS. Within the mix of new customers are start-ups as well as long established regional laboratories and service providers. Software services and add-sales with existing customers grew as customers increased their investment in Seacoast solutions.
New clients include: Hunter Laboratories (Campbell, CA), PhenoPath Laboratories (Seattle, WA), Pathologists Associated (Muncie, IN), Kilbourne Medical Laboratories, (Cincinnati, OH), Laboratory Billing Services (Portsmouth, NH) and American Clinical Services (Lyndhurst, NJ).
“The business of commercial laboratory is one of the most competitive in healthcare. Our customers understand that the key to continued success are systems that provide a high degree of productivity and innovations that add value for their customers,” said Jim Whitehurst, VP of Sales and Marketing for Seacoast. “The SurroundLab(TM) product line was designed to address these key issues as well as allow our customers the flexibility to tailor the systems to their unique market.”
“We continue to sign contracts with leading laboratories across the US,” explains John Herring, President and CEO of Seacoast. ” These new clients recognize the benefit of implementing information systems that are designed and engineered specifically for the commercial laboratory industry. Our competitors again and again try to shoehorn systems designed for the hospital laboratory into commercial labs resulting in limited long-term success. With the pending release of our new Visual Customer Service and QC modules Seacoast customers have the tools to stay competitive and offer their customers a quality product.”
