OLM Group appoints new managing director of OLM Professional Services division
12 May 2009
Leading supplier of integrated information solutions to the care sector, OLM Group, has today announced Arlene Adams as the new managing director of OLM Professional Services and OLM Systems. Adams will lead the innovation programme to deliver local authorities and health care providers with the tools and services necessary to respond to a dynamic market.
Adams' strong track record of leading technology and services businesses in complex and changing markets makes this a timely appointment for the OLM Group. Adams brings much knowledge to the table, with over 15 years experience working for global technology and services giants IBM and Sun Microsystems, together with her most recent experience in IRIS Software.
Adams comments: "Social services are going through a period of unprecedented change. They need to radically alter their business process and technology to deliver services in a more cost effective, transparent and risk controlled manner. OLM Group is well placed to help customers under take this transformation. The company hosts a wealth of domain expertise and this is complimented with technology specialists, services and systems that together can deliver full service transformation."
The personalisation agenda in adult services is a good example of where OLM Group is already working with a number of leading local authorities to transform the service and cost model of delivering adult services. Adams continues: "OLM Group is widely recognised as leading the way in personalisation and has similar plans to combine its domain and technology expertise to deliver transformation in the children's sector."
OLM Group has successfully recognised the rapid change that the sector is experiencing and in response is committed to bringing in further industry experts to help deliver its services to a new level. Peter O'Hara, CEO of OLM Group explains: "Arlene's commitment and determination to set new heights in the industry is warmly welcomed here at OLM Group. As the market stands, fundamental change in the delivery of adult and children's social care services is necessary. We are confident that Arlene will lead our products to new levels of customer satisfaction and best practice."
