Our story (in brief)

With our roots in healthcare MIS solutions and our focus on hospitals and healthcare regions, we develop, implement, maintain, and support fully integrated ORMED MIS™ software and the ORMED X®  B2B internet portal to increase efficiency, financial control, and peace of mind.

We are a North American thought leader in the healthcare sector and the largest Canadian supplier of MIS software solutions to healthcare facilities across Canada.

Built to satisfy the challenging demands of the healthcare industry, implementing Ormed-enabled best practices will drive higher levels of productivity and profitability by significantly increasing the efficiency of your business processes.

The rest of our story

A private, employee-owned company, Ormed has a long history of successful implementations and an equally long list of loyal clients who continue to inform us of their changing needs and receive free upgrades to leading-edge business process software. Serving the healthcare industry and expanding into other markets, Ormed understands the need for strong ethics, business strategy that remains focused on the needs of our clients, and a pricing strategy that allows your Ormed software to pay for itself many times over through clearly defined and measurable cost savings.

We are proud of our 100% implementation success record, and continue to look for ways to improve our software and services offering.

The ORMED MIS Management Information System is the fourth generation of software from Ormed Information Systems Ltd. stemming back to 1989, when we evolved our supply chain management consulting practice into software written exclusively for healthcare. Ormed clients initially ran the software on a local PC, and received free upgrades and data conversion to LAN technology, then WAN technology -- and now Ormed software users are fully Internet-enabled with the very best in e-commerce services and years of historical data from which to draw.

Starting in supply chain management in 1989, today Ormed provides more than 25 fully integrated software programs covering the areas of supply chain, e-commerce, finance, decision support, human resources, and systems management.

In 2001, we introduced ORMED MIS software with complete integration to ORMED X -- Ormed’s B2B portal -- to provide clients with all the benefits and savings that e-commerce has to offer, without the heavy upfront costs. ORMED X e-commerce purchasing services are FREE to ORMED MIS users and the merchants with which they do business. This business model ensures that all pertinent information is available to all parties at all times, without the cost of data entry and the errors and corrections it sometimes causes. It also means the elimination of information overload from fax, phone, e-mail, voice mail and other sources, because everything required for timely, fully informed decision-making is available on-line and in real-time.

After four generations of software technology, over 350 healthcare facilities run more than 2,700 Ormed applications today, yet our Help Desk receives less than 10 calls per day. Ormed implementation projects are completed below standard market time lines, and are always under budget.

Our software fits your organization and your business practice, and it goes in without undue cost or risk. And because Ormed is a Certified Microsoft Solution Provider and everything we do is plug-and-play, our software rarely requires service.

Ormed’s smart software drives smart business, which streamlines your business and reduces costs, and our unlimited support and upgrade policy means no extra fees and never having to buy MIS software again.

We're the largest Canadian supplier of finance and materials management software to Canada's healthcare industry, and some of our clients have run our software since we released our first product. We believe that says a lot about who we are, what we stand for, and why you should talk with us.

Our primary focus is our e-commerce strategy and bringing more services to ORMED X to eliminate data entry and keep all parties fully informed at all times through seamless and real-time e-commerce.

Our latest innovation, which enhances our source-to-settlement e-commerce model, is ORMED X Easy Pay™. In addition to on-line services that integrate electronic tendering and contract management into the buyer's materials management information system, and the e-commerce purchasing tools that allow for electronic transmission and reconciliation of the PO, ORMED X Easy Pay allows buyers to pay their merchants immediately upon confirmed receipt of goods and electronic matching of the electronic purchase order, receiving, and electronic invoice, without affecting the buyer's cash flow (for 30 days, interest-free).

This enhancement to existing ORMED X services automates the buyer's accounts payable work and the merchant's accounts receivable work for every Easy Pay transaction.

In addition, enrollment in this free service entitles buyers to a cash rebate on every ORMED X Easy Pay transaction. You can receive a check from Ormed or use the rebate to offset the cost of purchasing our full-spectrum Materials Management and Accounts Payable system. ( Click for details.)
