The new relationship strengthens Visage as a software solution innovator and enhances its services offering by working in collaboration with CDW Healthcare's dedicated account teams and technology specialists to develop state of the art IT product and service solutions for our mutual customers.

"Our customers have far more sophisticated data access needs and requirements today than they did on their initial deployment of basic PACS technology ," states John Danahy, Visage Imaging Inc.'s General Manager in North America. "A 4th generation solution like Visage 7 requires a more open, flexible approach to solving their challenges in adapting, scaling, and deploying this technology. Working with CDW Healthcare, our customers can execute against an enterprise strategy that meets the needs of their organizations as they grow and adapt to the rapidly evolving healthcare technology landscape," he continued.

"CDW Healthcare is an established technology solutions provider in the medical imaging market and in collaboration with Visage Imaging, we're able to provide customers with the right infrastructure solutions to support and deliver the Visage software solutions," said Jeff Heck, business development manager, CDW Healthcare. "Visage Imaging offers a new approach to tackling the long-standing challenge faced by many CIOs and Information Systems Directors in healthcare: putting the needs of healthcare providers and their patients at the center of the solution."

The quality standards associated with FDA and ISO processes will be strictly maintained as custom and semi-custom solutions are created. Customers who leverage the Visage/CDW Healthcare partnership will also receive the additional support of a dedicated CDW Healthcare account team and have access to the company's extensive solutions and services offerings including managed services, business continuity and disaster recovery solutions and asset management.
