The acquisition uniquely positions Mediware to develop even better business intelligence and analytics solutions that will provide customers with enhanced insights to help them streamline processes and make smarter decisions.

"Rock-Pond Solutions has a proven 17-year track record of providing high-quality business intelligence and analytics solutions to meet the unique requirements of home infusion, HME, and specialty pharmacies. The company's highly regarded team brings deep experience in post-acute care and they have successfully helped Mediware's CareTend software become the strong solution it is today," said Bill Miller, CEO of Mediware. "By acquiring Rock-Pond Solutions, we are strengthening our software offerings to truly help our customers deliver better care to patients across the entire spectrum of post-acute settings by using business intelligence and analytics in meaningful ways."

Mediware will combine engineering teams to improve coordination and consistency. Additionally, Mediware plans to accelerate investment in analytics and expertise, beyond CareTend, and continue to drive product innovation.
