Leading Healthcare Provider Completes Implementation of Multiple Lawson S3 Enterprise Software Suites

Integrated HR, financial and supply chain processes support healthcare organization’s technology and business strategies

ST. PAUL, Minn. (May 23, 2008) – Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) today announced that Mayo Clinic has completed its implementation of the Lawson S3 Human Capital Management Suite, including the Employee & Manager Self-Service applications. The new applications will help the healthcare provider maximize employee potential, and provide decision makers with the data they need to make informed, rapid decisions about the workforce that directly support business operations.

The implementation marks the completion of phase two of the Mayo Administration Goal for Integrated and Coordinated Systems (MAGIC) initiative, an organization-wide effort to streamline business processes and improve data sharing, reporting and regulatory compliance. The first phase of the initiative, completed in 2006, included deployment of the Lawson S3 Enterprise Financial Management and Supply Chain Management Suites.

Mayo Clinic is one of the largest integrated, not-for-profit group practices in the world with major sites in Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., and Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. and a network of hospitals and clinics under the Mayo Health System name. Collectively, the sites treat more than half a million people each year. The unified Lawson system will serve more than 3,400 physicians, scientists and researchers and 48,200 allied health staff at the organization.

Lawson’s Web-based Employee & Manager Self-Service applications give employees ownership of their personal information, such as benefits enrollment, vacation balances, and electronic pay statements.

“Lawson Human Capital Management offers healthcare organizations a comprehensive business system to better manage its people, financial resources, and supply chain processes,” said Stacey Hicks, healthcare marketing director for Lawson. “Our deep industry expertise enables us to provide the technology that healthcare organizations require to help efficiently and effectively allocate limited resources and deliver the highest level of patient care.”

The company also serves managed care systems, academic medical centers, hospitals, clinics, physician group practices, home healthcare, long-term care and other health services enterprises. Lawson solutions help healthcare organizations manage their business so they can focus on their patients, automate and streamline materials management for a better bottom line, and overcome the challenges of the labor shortage.
