Founded during 1982 and headquartered in Raleigh, NC, Medic
Computer Systems brings practice management software, Electronic
Medical Records solutions, E-Commerce services, an Internet
portfolio of services, and business transaction capabilities
to Misys Healthcare Systems.
Sunquest Information Systems has been providing clinical
data management solutions since 1979. Their capabilities
enable Misys Healthcare Systems to design, develop and support
a comprehensive suite of information products for hospitals,
independent laboratories and healthcare networks that include
laboratory, radiology and pharmacy systems.

HCIS was formed during 1982 and has become the industry
leader in information management solutions for home care
organizations. The company accommodates all home health,
hospice and private duty organizations: small companies

Misys plc founded in 1979 and originally funded with private
capital, Misys began as a computer systems supplier for
UK insurance brokers. The company rapidly grew organically
and began trading on the UK Unlisted Securities Market in
March 1987, with a subsequent listing on the main London
Stock Exchange in 1989.
In 1988, Misys set out to broaden its range of activities
and strengthen its market position through a series of acquisitions.
The company acquired several companies whose presence grew
Misys' international focus in the banking and insurance
sectors prior to the convergence of three US-based, industry-leading
healthcare IT companies. This convergence formed the basis
for Misys Healthcare Systems and solidified the company's
presence in the US.
