SHREVEPORT, LA – Bowman Systems is pleased to announce its acquisition of SunCoast Custom Programming and Web Design, a pioneering software leader for the Information and Referral industry. SunCoast’s product offering will become a core component of Bowman Systems’ existing health and human software suite now utilized by more than 40,000 users, in 4,000 agencies in 46 states. 
The SunCoast product line of IRis and IRis for the Web will significantly accelerate Bowman System’s investment in the Information and Referral industry and be complemented by Bowman Systems’ existing products such as ServicePoint, CommunityPoint, HousingPoint and GatherPath.

The combination of Bowman Systems and SunCoast will result in a comprehensive, end-to-end information management solution organizing call, client, and case management information. Additionally, SunCoast’s management and employees will form a dedicated business unit within Bowman Systems, focused on providing critical operational applications to the information and referral industry.

"The software market for the health and human services industry remains quite fragmented. The combination of our firms creates a stronger offering for all our customers as we look forward to delivering long-term value for the market," said Bowman Systems President Robert Bowman. "Together, Bowman Systems and SunCoast plan to deliver the most modern, comprehensive, and well-integrated enterprise software suite for the health and human services market."

"As the trend toward collaborative systems and evolving business needs for information and referral providers grow, we expect our integration with Bowman Systems will best achieve customer goals," said SunCoast President Cathy Smith. "We expect our combined solutions will deliver greater business insight and increased customer loyalty."

With the transaction complete, Bowman Systems will focus on uninterrupted service to its clients while planning for integrated platform in late 2009.
