Frost & Sullivan Acknowledges Intelerad's Continued Success in Enhancing its Presence and Brand in the Medical Imaging Workflow Market

- Intelerad's high degree of innovation and customer value enables it to edge ahead of the competition

MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the medical imaging workflow solutions market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Intelerad with the 2013 North America Frost & Sullivan Entrepreneurial Company of the Year Award. In 2012, Intelerad launched a series of new products designed to optimize medical imaging workflows in distributed medical imaging environments, particularly multi-site ambulatory facilities. Intelerad's proactive efforts and speed of response to market needs gave the company a substantial competitive advantage in the market and helped it pull ahead of its competitors.

"The newly introduced products are highly innovative in that they respond to emerging market needs for more efficient workflow solutions and effective ways of communication," said Frost & Sullivan Principal Analyst Nadim Daher. "Improved communication will foster collaboration among imaging stakeholders, while simultaneously facilitating peer review processes, and knowledge and image sharing."

These solutions are part of Intelerad's cohesive portfolio, which includes strong radiology information system/picture archiving and communication system (RIS/PACS) and connectivity solutions. As they offer significant potential for value additions to customers, they open up opportunities for the company to penetrate deeper into its existing customer base, as well as expand its footprint in the market.

"Furthermore, this upgraded portfolio places the company at the forefront of emerging trends in the imaging informatics space, thereby increasing Intelerad's brand equity and market traction," noted Daher.

"At Intelerad, our goal is to deliver innovative solutions that meet the needs of medical imaging professionals in both ambulatory and hospital settings," said Randall Oka, Intelerad's President and CEO. "Medical imaging is an evolving industry and we've been conscious to adapt – developing features and benefits that allow organizations to deliver premium care while remaining competitive in their market. It is rewarding to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan for these efforts."
