AMS announces 1995 healthcare revenues; Healthcare revenues exceed $13 million.

FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 4, 1996--American Management Systems (AMS) (NASDAQ Ticker Symbol: AMSY) today announced that its healthcare systems and technology practice, formally launched in 1995, achieved revenues of $13.3 million for advanced technology projects for health care providers.

These results reflected sales of the company's workflow products for medical records and patient financial services, custom development of client/server-based information systems, and specialized technology consulting.

"The healthcare industry has welcomed AMS's blend of advanced technology skills and business insight," said AMS CEO Paul Brands. "During 1995, AMS implemented practical solutions to key challenges facing healthcare providers, such as reducing the paperwork burden in medical records and patient financial services, building high performance customer service capabilities, and finding ways to efficiently share data enterprise-wide."

"We expect to continue our fast-paced growth in 1996," said AMS vice president Peter Gretz, who manages AMS's healthcare business. "We will build on our technical leadership in workflow, groupware, and client/server technologies and on AMS's proven ability to deliver solutions to complex business problems. I am particularly excited by our new information technology consulting projects for managed care enterprises, and by the level of interest in our workflow and groupware solutions."

Besides serving healthcare providers, AMS performed projects valued at over $15 million for government health services programs and the health insurance industry. These figures were not included in the healthcare total, as the company reports such revenues under separate market categories.

AMS offers healthcare organizations specialized services and products, including document imaging and workflow systems, client/server software development, groupware solutions, and a range of information technology consulting services including strategic systems planning, business process reengineering, and enterprise computing and technology architecture development.
