TAMPA, Fla., Dec 04, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Vitera Healthcare Solutions, the nation's premier provider of best-in-class ambulatory electronic health records and practice management software and services, today announced a partnership with DecisionOne Corporation, the largest independent hardware and infrastructure support organization in North America.

"DecisionOne has an extraordinary reputation for its hardware and technical knowledge. The company has an extensive geographic footprint and provides excellent service levels for user support. We are confident our customers will benefit from the enhanced responsiveness and fast turnaround DecisionOne has provided for more than 50 years."
DecisionOne is looking forward to integrating the skill set and domain expertise Vitera's field service technicians will contribute to the organization, notes President and Chairman Nick Sharma. "We have the highest regard for Vitera and its field service technicians, and are confident in a seamless and transparent transition. Our multi-vendor service experience, our focus on delighting customers, and our expertise in the healthcare industry makes this a win-win for the partnership and for Vitera's clients. We are extremely pleased that Vitera leadership selected us to continue its proud tradition of exceeding customer expectations."
The partnership with DecisionOne is part of an "organizational transformation," Hawkins says, which includes centralizing resources at the company's Tampa headquarters to facilitate greater coordination among Vitera team members for improved productivity, accelerated innovation and organizational performance. "We are transforming the way we do business to ensure we deliver the extraordinary support and superior solutions our customers so rightly expect and deserve."
