MENTOR, Ohio and CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- SourceOne Healthcare Technologies, (RSNA Booth #1919) and Imaging Dynamics Company, LTD., (IDC TSXV Symbol IDL) have signed a contract giving SourceOne nationwide distribution rights to IDC’s innovative and affordable direct digital radiography (DR) solutions.
SourceOne is the nation’s leading distributor of medical-imaging systems, equipment, radiographic consumable supplies, and services to healthcare facilities. IDC manufactures and markets DR technology to hospitals and orthopedic centers.
“The signing of SourceOne as a distribution partner demonstrates our growing market presence and bridges many of the coverage gaps we had in geographic pockets of the US,” said Rick Sbordone, senior vice president, IDC. “Our road to success for US sales in 2005 is dependent on continuing to strengthen our sales and service distribution network. IDC’s cost/performance ratios continue to get the attention of key decision makers looking at DR and CR. Sbordone added, “SourceOne has more than 150 sales executives, dedicated inside sales representatives and customer express representatives that blanket the US, which will help create the exposure and product awareness needed to ensure that IDC is engaged in these opportunities.”
“The agreement gives SourceOne an outstanding opportunity to offer cost- effective DR solutions to more than 20,000 customers nationwide,” said Richard Pacenta, vice president of marketing, SourceOne Healthcare Technologies. “This enhances our ability to provide complete medical solutions to specialty care clinics, small to medium-size hospitals and additional choices for hospitals looking to make the transition to a digital environment at an affordable price of entry.”
