Keane Acquires CARE Computer Systems

Keane Attains Dominant Position within Rapidly Growing Long-Term Care Software Industry.

Leading e-business and information technology (IT) consulting firm Keane, Inc. (AMEX:KEA) today announced it has acquired Care Computer Systems, Inc., a leading provider of software solutions for the long-term care industry, based in Bellevue, Wash. Those operations will be combined with Keane’s Healthcare Solutions Division (HSD), establishing Keane as the dominant provider to the long-term care industry with a 26% market share in the United States. The acquisition was completed on September 7, 2000. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

"The combination of Keane’s best-of-breed financial applications for long-term care facilities and Care’s industry leading clinical applications, establishes Keane as the clear market leader with a comprehensive solution for our customers,” said Raymond W. Paris, senior vice president, Keane Healthcare Solutions Division. “In addition, this combination now positions us to launch a complete ASP solution for long-term care facilities which will enable Keane to offer flexible solutions to meet the unique business needs of its customers," he said.

Care Computer Systems develops, markets, and supports a range of clinical and financial software for long-term care facilities such as skilled nursing facilities, sub-acute facilities, residential care facilities, assisted living centers, and rehabilitation facilities. Established in 1969, the privately held company is based in Bellevue, Wash., and has approximately 3,200 software installations throughout the United States. The company’s Microsoft Windows-based clinical products are regarded as the leading solution for long-term care facilities. The long-term care industry is a direct beneficiary of the changing demographics in the United States with the aging of the population.
