IMA Systems is now part of Cantata Health Solutions
Cantata Health Solutions and IMA Systems have joined forces to help providers advance the delivery of behavioral health services in New York by aligning on values and delivering next-generation technology. With this acquisition, Cantata and IMA now serve more than 40 providers across New York, meeting the needs of organizations of all sizes—from small behavioral health and human services agencies to large healthcare systems like NYC Health + Hospitals.
Experienced, Expert EHR Leadership
The combination of IMA’s deep New York expertise and software solutions with Cantata’s modern technology will accelerate the company’s ability to meet the unique requirements of New York behavioral healthcare providers. IMA’s software solutions were tailored for New York Health and Human Services (HHS) providers and that unique functionality will be migrated to Cantata’s Arize platform. IMA customers will benefit from expanded resources and access to advanced technology, while Cantata gains a team with years of experience solving important mental health, substance use disorder and CCBHC challenges faced by behavioral healthcare providers in New York.
Why Cantata?
When asked, “Why Cantata?” Barry Samel, President of IMA Systems, pointed to shared values, a commitment to New York’s behavioral health providers, and the strength of Cantata’s technology.
“We’ve been approached about acquisitions in the past, but alignment on values and approach is most important,” said Samel. “This partnership with Cantata is different—it feels right. Both organizations share a commitment to advancing New York’s behavioral health system and supporting its providers. Plus, when we saw Arize, we knew it was the right platform to take our customers into the future.”
What This Means for IMA Customers
Everything imaServe customers rely on will continue uninterrupted under Cantata, including development and implementation projects. The dedicated IMA team remains in place to provide the same high level of service. Over time, Cantata will explore opportunities to include imaServe functionality into Arize, providing imaServe customers with a seamless transition.
