improve physician and healthcare staff tasks and decisions while improving
efficiency. Lawson, a provider of business intelligence software, acquired
Healthvision in 2010 in an effort to branch out into the lucrative healthcare
industry. Healthvision’s Cloverleaf technology was the main pull for this
acquisition because it can integrate with Lawson’s own enterprise software to
create a tight suite that handles the needs of physicians, hospitals, and other
medical offices.
