Navigating an Unprecedented Situation

Consolidated infrastructure helps Concordance Healthcare Solutions meet customer demands

Thank you to UCG Technologies client Keith Price, Concordance CIO and COO, for taking the time to participate in this case study.

UCG VP Mike Powall and VAI's Cindy Breedlove jointly sold VAI's S2K ERP Solution to Seneca Medical in Tiffin, OH in 1998.

When three previously independently owned and operated medical supply companies merged to create Concordance Healthcare Solutions, their platforms and solutions also had to be merged.To accomplish this, the company moved to a faster IBM Power Systems™ server and a unified ERP environment that impacts every aspect of the business.

In addition to simplifying operations and increasing efficiency, this IT consolidation helped Concordance more efficiently address the needs of hospitals and other healthcare providers when COVID-19 began ravaging the U.S. and the world.

COVID-19 Update

As we begin our 36th year, we are eager to get back to regular in-person meetings at our favourite hotels. However, in keeping with current health guidelines, we must stay home and stay safe.

The TUG Board of Directors will continue to monitor the directives from the Ministry of Health and make responsible decisions for the health and safety of our members and guests, with regards to the re-opening of our Meetings of Members (MoMs). In the meantime (instead of in-person MoMs every two months) we are planning to compensate by presenting monthly Zoom meetings!

We thank You for your patience and co-operation throughout these unprecedented times.
