Agfa Wins Award for PACS

By MedImaging staff writers
Posted on 21 Dec 2004
Agfa Healthcare (Mortsel, Belgium) has been awarded the 2004 Frost & Sullivan Oceana PACS (picture archiving and communications systems) Market Leadership Award, for its experience and dependability in PACS implementation and integration techniques. More...
This award is given to a company that has shown market share leadership through the implementation of highly competitive business strategies.

Statistical data collected by Frost & Sullivan, a technology consulting firm (Palo Alto, CA, USA; www.frost.com), stated that Agfa is the dominant player in the Oceania PACS market, noting that Agfa has made significant modifications in its Impax system to adapt to the special requirements of customers in New Zealand and Australia, recognizing that market success requires a high degree of localization.

"We have made considerable investments in a team of experts at our core technical center in Australia, and as Frost & Sullivan points out, we are able to combine intimate knowledge of local market preferences with proximity to the client, in order to ensure constant adjustment according to client needs,” stated David Chambers, general manager of Agfa HealthCare ASPAC Southern Zone.

A spokesperson from Frost & Sullivan noted, "By utilizing human resources that are experienced with the applications typically used in the region, Agfa is able to provide cost-effective, bi-directional PAS integration to many of the third-part radiology information systems (RIS) and hospital information systems (HIS) that are prevalent in Australia and New Zealand.”
