mecwacare and Cognizant embark on multi-year relationship to drive innovation and enhance experiences for mecwacare’s workforce, clients and their families.

SYDNEY and TEANECK, N.J., Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — mecwacare, a Victorian aged care and community services provider, has announced a complete transformation. In collaboration with Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH), a global leader in technology and professional services, mecwacare aims to drive innovation, expanding its healthcare services and enhancing experiences for clients, their families, employees and the broader community.

This digital transformation aims to modernise mecwacare’s existing enterprise applications and fragmented IT systems by optimising service delivery and enabling a future powered by deep data, analytics and AI.

“This ambitious project underscores mecwacare’s commitment to creating a client and workforce experience that builds on our 65-year heritage and enables us to respond to the changing needs of those we serve as an industry,” said Anne McCormack, CEO of mecwacare.

She continued, “Our mission has always been to provide the highest quality care to those in need, and this significant investment is the next step in our unwavering dedication to this mission. We believe that by embracing digital transformation, we will gain the data and insights to enable us to deliver even more outstanding and personalised care, better understand the journey of our clients, improve the training and work experience for our staff, and enhance our overall operational effectiveness.”

As mecwacare’s delivery partner, Cognizant will implement a single integrated platform across the aged care provider’s entire range of services designed to optimise operations and facilitate person-centred care. The platform, powered by the integration of Salesforce and Workday, will innovate service delivery and people experience, supporting mecwacare’s clients to age in place while receiving tailored and quality care.

The aged care provider aims to revolutionise the way they deliver care by embracing a holistic person-centric “hub” approach driven by client needs and anchored in quality, safety and technology. Data and analytics will enable mecwacare employees to make informed decisions at the point of care to enhance both care delivery and operational efficiency.

Jane Livesey, Head of Asia Pacific and Japan at Cognizant said, “We are thrilled to partner with mecwacare as they embark on their digital transformation journey. This collaboration is a testament to mecwacare’s commitment to addressing the growing needs of their clients and families. By leveraging Cognizant’s innovative technology and global capabilities, we aim to support mecwacare in revolutionising aged care services. Together, we can enhance the quality of care for the elderly, ensuring they receive compassionate and efficient service.”

“This partnership also highlights the capabilities of Cognizant’s newly expanded Public Sector and Health team, who bring deep industry expertise to enhance interactions with government and healthcare organisations. Our partnership with mecwacare not only strengthens our presence in this sector and the community, but also underscores our dedication to making a meaningful impact to the lives of Australians.”

The project is a significant investment in the future of aged care by mecwacare which highlights its proactive approach to innovation and excellence in service delivery.

“Good data and actionable insights are key for not-for-profit organisations to ensure their programs drive real impact,” said Andrew Hill, Vice President, Salesforce for Nonprofits APAC. “We greatly value the impact our local not-for-profit organisations have in our community, and we’re looking forward to working with Cognizant to deliver this important digital transformation for mecwacare, empowering its important work across the aged care and community services sectors.”

“Aged care is undergoing significant changes, that may be disruptive for both staff and the providers’ bottom line. Aged care providers like mecwacare are seeing the value of a unified platform like Workday for people and money, which gives them complete visibility of their operations, as well as the business agility to help navigate a changing landscape. With an improved end user experience, staff spend less time on administrative tasks, allowing them to focus more on delivering care,” said Jo-Anne Ruhl, Vice President and Managing Director, Workday Australia and New Zealand.

PARIS, Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — It is with deep sadness that iM Global Partner (iMGP) announces the passing, one month ago, of our dear friend and colleague, Philippe Uzan.

 

 

Philippe’s exceptional career in asset management spanned more than 30 years and is marked by remarkable achievements in the organizations for which he worked and deep contributions to the industry as a whole. His passing is a tremendous loss to all who knew and worked with him.

Philippe joined iM Global Partner in February 2020 as Deputy CEO and CIO Global Asset Management, responsible for overseeing our financial strategies and products and designing value-added investment solutions for our clients across Europe and the United States.

His expertise spanned all asset classes, and he had a deep understanding of markets and their impact on investors and their investment needs. He was an eloquent man who contributed a number of papers and articles to the media, always with the intention of educating and making financial concepts more relatable. He has left an indelible mark on our organization and on the broader industry.

Prior to joining iM Global Partner, Philippe was latterly Chief Investment Officer at Edmond De Rothschild Asset Management, where he worked for 11 years and where he led the portfolio management teams, optimizing the synergies between analysis and portfolio management. He previously spent three years as Research and Global Asset Allocation Director, where he developed the portfolio management and research teams and modernized investment processes and the product range.

Philippe began his career as an Equity Derivatives Trader at Société Générale and held roles at AGF Asset Management (now part of Allianz Global Investors) and Natixis AM.

Throughout his career, Philippe’s outstanding intelligence, humility, and collaborative spirit earned him the respect and admiration of his peers.

Philippe Couvrecelle, Founder and CEO of iM Global Partner, expressed his heartfelt condolences: “It was with infinite sadness and pain that I learned of Philippe’s passing from a devastating illness. I had known Philippe closely for almost 20 years, as we worked together for Natixis, Edmond de Rothschild and iMGP. I pay immense tribute to his humanity, his sense of humor, his brilliant intelligence and his presence, which I will deeply miss. We had shared so much and still had so much to do together. In his memory, we will continue our path forward with strength, success and intensity, always preserving our values and our company culture to which he was so attached.

We will all miss Philippe enormously at iM Global Partner. He will be remembered not only for his professional achievements but also for his warmth, generosity, kindness and his unwavering dedication to his colleagues and community. Our thoughts are with his wife and three children, his family, friends and loved ones during this difficult time.”
