The financial terms of the 10-year agreement were not disclosed. Perot Systems will create a centralized information technology environment designed to bring the benefit of systems predictability to Jewish Hospital & St. Mary’s Healthcare (JHSMH), and will manage IT services such as data center operations, network operations and the help desk among other functions. Perot Systems and JHSMH worked collaboratively to create the arrangement to support the health systems’ strategic IT objectives. As a key part of the engagement, Perot Systems will be responsible for the technology integration for JHSMH.
Mark Carter, senior vice president and chief administrative officer of JHSMH, said: Perot Systems’ expertise and experience in the healthcare industry makes JHSMH confident that we can deliver the best information technology services to our care givers and staff. Perot Systems gives us a very solid platform to fully integrate the two former organizations’ information technology functions into our merged organization.
