Allscripts refocuses EPSi™ business to accelerate
innovation, drive client success
New vision will respond to evolving market needs with aggressive solution roadmap
CHICAGO – June 27, 2016 – Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX) has implemented an aggressive
strategy to drive innovation and client success through the EPSi solution, its flagship budgeting,
cost accounting and financial decision support platform. The company will accelerate
development with new executive leadership and a future-focused roadmap to meet rapidly
changing market needs.
“Having been a chief financial officer myself, I understand the strategic importance of tools like
EPSi for financial planning, scenario modeling and critical decision support in a time of rapid
industry transition,” Allscripts President Rick Poulton said. “We’re refocusing our strategy by
making a significant investment in EPSi as a market-leading solution.”
As of June 27, EPSi founder Tim Rutledge and former management executives Ralph Keiser
and John Gragg will join Allscripts to lead the efforts in executing the new solution strategy.
Ralph Keiser will be the CEO of the EPSi business unit, with John Gragg functioning as COO
and Tim Rutledge as Chief Product Architect. Chuck Manternach, who has been with Allscripts
since 2008, will also take on a greater leadership role in the organization as Associate General
Manager for EPSi. With extensive industry experience and knowledge, this team will develop a
new product roadmap that will keep EPSi users at the forefront of healthcare evolution.
In conjunction with the investment in EPSi, Allscripts has acquired RealCost.io, a next-
generation decision support and analytics firm founded by Keiser, Rutledge and Gragg.
“We are excited to join Allscripts and lead the EPSi business into its next phase of growth and
innovation,” said Keiser. “Our focus will be to improve the current client experience with our
products and services and to expand the capabilities of our market-leading platform that powers
some of the largest healthcare systems in the market. I look forward to working with the EPSi
team to create and launch innovative solutions that help our clients as they transition from
volume to value and deliver cost saving operational efficiencies.”
“These industry leaders had the vision to create EPSi, and now they will use their expertise to
advance the solution to the next level,” Poulton said. “We remain 100% committed to our long-
term partnership with clients and delivering the best EPSi solutions.”
