Sunny Sanyal Takes Helm At T-System
Dallas, Texas (August 9, 2010) – T-System, Inc., the industry leader in clinical, business and IT solutions for hospital emergency departments (EDs), today announces that it has named Sunny Sanyal as CEO. Sanyal recently served as president of McKesson Provider Technologies, a business unit of McKesson Corporation, currently ranked 14th on the FORTUNE 500, which focuses on the healthcare sector. In this role, he was responsible for leading McKesson’s technology business for hospitals, health systems, home care providers, and physicians.
Sanyal succeeds John Trzeciak, who served as interim CEO since April. At that time, the company announced that Francisco Partners made a significant capital investment in the company, bringing extensive healthcare experience and resources. Trzeciak, Operating Advisor for Francisco Partners, will continue to serve on the T-System board of directors.
“The health IT industry is transforming before our eyes. Hospitals are struggling to get their IT systems up and running quickly to meet Meaningful Use requirements, and T-System can help them achieve those goals in the ED,” said Ezra Perlman, partner with Francisco Partners and the head of its healthcare IT practice. “Sunny’s experience with providers makes him uniquely qualified to lead the company to the next level.”
Sanyal will guide T-System through an increasingly complex and competitive marketplace as the company meets the evolving needs of hospital EDs. He will drive strategy to improve the functionality and interoperability of its ED solutions – ultimately providing more value for customers.
“T-System has a long history of providing powerful solutions that drive clinical and financial performance for the emergency department and the hospital,” said Sanyal. “Moving forward, we’re uniquely positioned to help our clients meet Meaningful Use Stage 1 requirements faster than anyone. I’m very excited to be a part of a company that can deliver the value that no other HIT vendor can.”
Sanyal concluded, “With more than 40% of emergency departments relying on T-System, we clearly have the broadest clinical adoption in the industry. Our clients, whether they use our EDIS or paper solutions, have come to depend on us every day. Looking ahead, not only will our EDIS clients continue to see ever-increasing value in our solutions, our paper clients will also see accelerated value as they make the journey toward meaningful use and beyond.”
Previously, Sanyal worked with GE Healthcare, Accenture and IDX Systems. He recently served on the boards of HIMSS and the National Alliance for Healthcare IT (NAHIT). He received his MBA from Harvard Business School, his master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from Louisiana State University, and his bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Bombay.
