Kansas City, Mo. and Greenwood Village, Colo. — Cerner (Nasdaq: CERN) and global IT consulting company Ciber (NYSE: CBR) announce a joint effort to deliver a full suite of Infor application management and hosting services for health care organizations. The two companies will offer best in breed solutions for Infor applications including application management, implementation, upgrades, and hosting services.

“Infor is a leader in back-office ERP systems run by healthcare organizations, and Cerner is a leader in clinical systems,” said Beth Dvoracek, Ciber’s senior Infor practice director. “With Ciber’s implementation expertise and managed services know-how, we believe this joint effort will enable us to deliver fast and solid value to healthcare organizations and the patients they serve.”

Cerner chose to join with Ciber based on their more than 20 years of experience with Infor in the health care industry. Ciber’s relationship with Infor dates back to 1995. As one of Infor’s largest systems integration partners, Ciber’s Infor experts have enhanced client systems capabilities through more than 2 million consulting hours.
