ADRP, an International Division of America’s Blood Centers, held its annual conference in Phoenix, AZ from May 10-12, 2022, which was attended by over 350 blood banking professionals from 8 different countries who specialize in donor recruitment, relations, collections, and communications. Due to its presence at this conference, IT Synergistics was afforded an opportunity to network with attendees affiliated with companies in or that support the industry.

IT Synergistics was an exhibiting sponsor of the conference. Company representatives were on hand to provide information about IT Synergistics and its products and services – with emphasis on bexWISE Engage, the latest addition to its full suite of blood management software solutions. bexWISE Engage is a single solution for handling account management, drive planning, staffing, and donor recruitment.

On Wednesday morning (May 11), bexWISE Engage Product Manager Jennifer White (pictured) presented “Partnered Engagement Solutions”, one out of the four unique vendor-hosted solution sessions offered during the conference to promote collaboration among participants. This half-hour session was sponsored by IT Synergistics and focused on exploring ideas and strategies for utilizing blood bank management software to engage donors, reduce resource shortages, and build lasting partnerships. The presentation prompted encouraging feedback on the Engage product during Q&A. Attendees were provided several new solutions and discussion points to take back and explore at their respective blood centers. While for their part, IT Synergistics representatives were able to learn about the current needs and demands the industry is facing, with an eye toward incorporating this knowledge into upcoming development projects.

Also in attendance were representatives from third-party vendors (like Fresenius Kabi, Macopharma, HealthAware, and Applied Science) that integrate with IT Synergistics’ products.
