InterScripts Partners with Akron Children's for Seamless ERP Transition and Data Archiving
In a significant advancement for healthcare technology,
InterScripts, Inc., a leading provider of IT services and software for the healthcare sector, has announced its collaboration with
Akron Children's, a prominent pediatric healthcare system based in Northeast Ohio. The partnership aims to facilitate Akron Children's ERP transition to
Workday while managing data archiving through InterScripts' innovative platform,
BytePad.
The Importance of Collaboration
InterScripts has been entrusted with two primary initiatives aimed at ensuring a smooth transition for Akron Children's healthcare operations. With more than 60 locations and two hospitals, Akron Children's is undergoing an extensive implementation effort focused on integrating the Workday system into its existing structure. By engaging InterScripts, Akron Children's can concentrate on the intricate conversion process without jeopardizing the daily operations of their current
Infor environment.
Harun Rashid, the Chief Digital Information Officer at Akron Children's, expressed the value of this partnership:
"Our collaboration with InterScripts enables our team to remain focused on successfully delivering Workday - a significant technology and business transformation for Akron Children's. They maintain the stability and performance of Infor while we transition to Workday, allowing us to reduce operational burdens on our internal resources.”
This strategy is particularly beneficial as it allows Akron Children's to leverage the specialized experience provided by InterScripts without the need for additional full-time employees, thus preserving resources and expert knowledge during a critical period of change.
Operational Support for Infor Environment
InterScripts is committed to managing all aspects of the Infor operations at Akron Children's, including incident resolution, application maintenance, upgrades, and system troubleshooting. The ongoing support ensures that the current infrastructure remains stable while Workday is being configured and tested.
Archiving with BytePad
In addition to operational support, InterScripts is also responsible for archiving legacy data from Infor CloudSuite and
Kronos onto its
BytePad platform. This initiative involves the collection of over 13 years' worth of historical data, which is essential for retaining access to important information necessary for various departments including HR, finance, supply chain, and audit teams.
Rashid reiterated the strategic benefit of utilizing BytePad:
"Our plan is to build an archiving solution that simplifies and modernizes the management of historical clinical and business content throughout the organization. The BytePad platform serves as a centralized repository, allowing us to migrate and preserve various types of data, including structured and unstructured formats, in a single location.”
BytePad's AI-driven global search capability allows Akron Children's staff to easily locate necessary records across different data types without relying solely on older systems that may not be as efficient. This ensures that the organization can address audit requests and payroll inquiries seamlessly, maintaining high operational standards.
The Vision for Successful Transition
The joint efforts between InterScripts and Akron Children’s illustrate a clear understanding that effective ERP transformation requires careful planning and execution, especially regarding legacy system retirement. Raju Togi, the Founder and CEO of InterScripts, highlighted this perspective:
"Successfully transitioning ERP systems involves harmonizing the implementation and retirement of legacy systems. Our BytePad solution, combined with our expertise in Infor and Workday, allows us to coordinate this transition as a unified effort.”
Looking Ahead: Workday Rising
To further showcase their capabilities and engage with healthcare systems preparing for similar transitions, InterScripts will be attending
Workday Rising in Las Vegas from October 12 to 15, 2026. Organizations looking to navigate ERP transitions and data archiving efficiently can contact the InterScripts team via email at [email protected]
