Physiotherapy Associates Licenses Lawson
Physiotherapy Associates (Memphis, Tenn.), a provider of musculoskeletal outpatient rehabilitation services, has licensed Lawson's S3 Human Capital Management and S3 Enterprise Financial Management suites in an effort to standardize accounting processes and improve access to financial and human resources data.
According to Lawson (St. Paul, Minn.), its system will provide a single user interface, which will enable physiotherapy employees to access and share data across departments. In addition, the "Lawson Drill Around" feature will enable users to conduct data analysis via access to supporting transactional information, says the software and services company.
Lawson also contends its Human Capital Management suite will enable the organization to automate its benefits enrollment process and employee lifecycle activities, such as transfers, promotions and terminations.
