DataBank, a Merion Portfolio Company, Acquires Alpha Systems

DataBank IMX, LLC (DataBank) announced today that it has acquired Alpha Systems, headquartered just north of Philadelphia in Huntingdon Valley, PA. “The acquisition of Alpha Systems grows our presence in the Healthcare market and brings unique solutions and intellectual property we can leverage to better serve our Healthcare clients nationally,” said Chuck Bauer, Co-founder & CEO of DataBank. “Alpha Systems expands our healthcare solutions capabilities and widens our client base. We gain a fantastic group of teammates, one of only 417 companies in the United States with ISO 27001 certification for security and operations, Six Sigma quality and market-leading software solutions such as Alpha ImageWorks® and Alphalytics™.”

Alpha Systems is the leading provider of Electronic Document Management solutions to improve revenue cycle operations to hospitals and health systems in the Mid-Atlantic region. These include outsourced process automation services that enable Healthcare organizations to more rapidly and accurately turn services into cash, a strong predictive analytics solution called Alphalytics which provides insight into denials before they happen, and lastly, secure storage and ‘scan on demand’ of patient healthcare records. Alpha Systems SaaS-delivered EDM systems for Healthcare organizations reliably deliver billions of page views and terabytes of clinical, financial and operational data each year. Alpha Systems solutions are in use by nearly 75,000 users who take advantage of robust features and proven functionality tailored to the Healthcare market. Those features, coupled with the power of SunGard’s redundant reliability across the country, makes Alpha Systems perfectly positioned to accommodate growth.

“Alpha Systems has a remarkable group of Revenue Cycle Management optimization experts, solutions architects and engineers who will favorably impact our clients’ process automation and re-engineering,” states Chad VanNorman, DataBank CIO. “The combination of Alpha Systems’ thirty-nine years of experience in the Healthcare market and DataBank’s nationwide document conversion capabilities will enhance the solutions offering for clients of both companies.” Alpha Systems will merge to become the national Healthcare division of DataBank and leverage its existing 200,000sq/ft. of facilities in Pennsylvania. This division, combined with the existing DataBank healthcare business will comprise 30% of overall Databank revenue and be led by former owner and President of Alpha Systems, Scott Griffith. “Our team is very excited to join the DataBank family and we look forward to working together to combine and leverage our unique strengths across a larger organization,” said Scott Griffith. “Alpha Systems’ customers will benefit from an expanded solution offering of Business Process Automation services including digital mailroom, Accounts Payable and Licensing and Accreditation process outsourcing. In addition, Databank’s breadth of software solutions including Hyland’s OnBase for Healthcare gives our clients access to an enterprise-class platform for success delivered by Hyland’s #1 partner in North America.”
