9 April 2008
EMIS has announced a joint venture agreement with Ireland's largest
healthcare IT provider, Helix Health Ltd. The agreement sees the two
companies selling each other's products in their respective market
areas.
The new EMIS Dental system, as well as software components for
primary care will become available in Ireland through the Helix sales
and support network, while Helix will gain access to EMIS' sales and
support network to distribute and support its QicScript range of
pharmacy management software applications across the UK.
Both companies will gain access to each other's research and
development expertise, in addition to software knowledge. They will also
localise their products for each marketplace, incorporating features and
functionality that will benefit their respective customers.
Sean Riddell, EMIS' Healthcare Managing Director comments: "The joint
venture gives us the opportunity to extend our product offering into new
markets, as well as working closely with Helix to bring benefits to our
respective customers at a local level."
Howard Beggs, CEO of Helix Health says: "EMIS is well respected among
Irish healthcare professionals. By sharing our research and development
software expertise, we can ensure that Irish healthcare professionals
can benefit from the 'best of breed' software applications and modules
for their business. We also believe the joint venture is an effective
way to enhance our distribution of pharmacy software products across the
UK."
