CGM Tepe International, a leading provider of scalable health information technology products and solutions for healthcare companies on a workflow-based platform, has announced that it is in the process of merging with another Turkish subsidiary of CGM (CompuGroup Medical) called CGM Türkiye, which provides Health Payer Services and Information Systems (HPSIS division) and is one of the leading TPAs (Third Party Administrators) serving private health insurance companies and other health payers like bank funds. The newly formed company named CompuGroup Medical (CGM) is emerging as the most powerful healthcare IT solution provider in Turkey and the Middle East region. This step follows the global "unique brand philosophy" of CGM, which has a clear focus on the most relevant local market subsegments in healthcare, building on a strong international brand and the vision of being the most successful eHealth company in the world.
CGM Tepe International's aim is to offer a broader and more comprehensive range of products to meet business needs of all the stakeholders in the health sector such as; insurance companies and other healthpayers which can benefit from the HPSIS (Health Payer Services Information Systems) product portfolio. This will provide a wider range of e-health services that match the specific needs of healthcare companies in KSA. The new company CGM will extend the initial long-term growth plans in KSA and is expected to further increase its share in the Saudi healthcare market.
The company will operate in Turkey and the Middle East under two seperate divisions: The business unit "HIS" (Hospital Information Systems) will benefit from sustained innovation of CGMs global portfolio and HIS-know-how in this area. The second business unit is "HPSIS" (Health Payer Services and Information Systems), and it is set to further its expansion and successful business. Overall, this step makes CGM the leading e-Health company in the region. Moreover, the merger of companies will be a gradual process; completion of the process will first take place in Turkey by July 2012, followed by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with no disruption to existing services.
Mehmet Bilginsoy, CEO, CGM Tepe International, said: "This merger will enhance our ability to cater to the growing demand for more advanced and comprehensive healthcare facilities and technologies in the Kingdom. CGM is set to combine both companies' resources and distribution network to create a more convenient gateway for healthcare companies to access e-health technologies and services, and enable them achieve low Total Cost of Ownership.
