Burlington, VT – EQ2 – a leader in hospital computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) and AMT Datasouth (AMT) – a leader in printing and downtime solutions for hospitals and other markets, have completed the integration of their formerly standalone management, service, sales and marketing teams. The resulting synergies allow both brands to have focused efforts in supplying hospitals with unique, customized solutions.
EQ2 was acquired by AMT in September 2013 and at first maintained separate service, sales and marketing teams. After identifying numerous synergies for reaching healthcare organizations that both businesses have long track records of serving, the two groups are now a fully combined team. Kim Stovall, Director of Sales and Marketing for EQ2 and AMT, said “Both companies have always provided customized solutions to our hospital clients. So, the synergies we’re experiencing are natural and a good fit for us and our clients.”
EQ2’s customers include Biomedical/Clinical Engineering and Facilities/Plant Engineering departments for asset tracking and management. EQ2’s CMMS has several modules that integrate to meet each customer’s specific needs for managing everything from work orders, to maintenance schedules on medical devices and facilities equipment, to compliance inspection preparation. The “HEMS®” CMMS was first developed in 1983 as a collaborative effort of the University of Vermont, ASHE (American Society for Healthcare Engineering), and the Kellogg Foundation. Then in 1993, EQ2 was formed as a private company to manage the continued growth of HEMS.
AMT’s roots also go back to 1983 and has provided printing solutions for hospitals, pharmacies, airlines, lotteries, auto dealerships, and backroom-warehouse-workshop applications. In healthcare AMT customizes patient wristband and label solutions for each hospital and also offers AMT Process 24/7® software for downtime patient admittance and administration.
Vishal Malhotra, EQ2’s Chief Technology Officer, has spent many years developing HEMS and said, “It’s be
en exciting working with the integrated team. We have already released new product offerings and enhancements, new pricing models, and a redesigned website at EQ2.com for a better user experience.”
