Lawson Software Expands Product Partnership with MHC Software

Expanded partnership enhances Lawson enterprise software offerings with document management capabilities.


Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) today announced an expansion of its partnership with MHC Software, a leading provider of document management solutions, to complement Lawson enterprise software solutions. MHC Software, a Lawson partner for more than 14 years, serves Lawson customers in healthcare, financial services, retail and public sector industries. The new agreement establishes MHC Software as a Gold-level partner within Lawson's Technology Partner Program, which is the most comprehensive partnership in Lawson's three-tiered partner program.

"Lawson and MHC have a shared commitment to provide technology solutions designed to be simpler to own, implement and use," said Terry Plath, global director of business development for Lawson. "Our customers have significant document management needs outside of Lawson's functionality, so MHC's offerings can be a natural fit along with Lawson S3 enterprise solutions."

More than 600 Lawson customers use MHC products, including Document Express Software, the company's flagship product, and Image Express Software, a document imaging system that digitizes and indexes documents for approval and electronic retrieval directly through Lawson applications. These solutions allow Lawson customers to convert Lawson data into documents that can be delivered via print, email, fax or the Internet.

"Our longstanding relationship with Lawson is extremely important to us," said John Shields, president of MHC Software. "MHC has developed a solid reputation for exceeding customer expectations and we bring that same level of service to the Lawson customers that we serve."

ValleyCare Health System is among the customers that benefit from using solutions from Lawson and MHC. The Livermore, Calif., healthcare provider first installed Document Express Software to create customized documents from its Lawson system. "As the rise in paper storage and retrieval costs continue to grow, we realized we needed an imaging solution," said Jim Booker, materials management information systems analyst for ValleyCare. "Using the offerings of MHC and Lawson, we not only reduced our expenses, but we also improved productivity and decision making by being able to retrieve images directly from Lawson screens."
