Launched within the last month, SourceOne is combining its radiographic consumables and medical imaging equipment sales forces into one, combined sales organization. This means customers will now have a single point of access to the company’s broad offering of products and services, including more than 25 equipment lines and 25,000 consumables and other supplies used in medical imaging.

With the new structure, customers will have a dedicated, Account Executive who will manage all aspects of their account. As part of the restructure, SourceOne also formalized a team of technical and product specialists in areas such as women’s health and image networking/PACS who can be brought in at any time to help facilitate clinical solutions planning, applications training, installation and service. Providing yet another layer of support is SourceOne’s inside Customer Care Team based in Mentor, Ohio. This customer care team is comprised of representatives who are specifically focused on providing added support to national accounts, addressing region-specific needs, and tracking account activity.

“Diagnostic imaging technologies are evolving rapidly,” said Jerry C. Cirino, president and chief executive officer, SourceOne Healthcare Technologies. “This restructure places us in an even better position to help our customers keep pace with and adapt to new technologies. Our dedicated regional reps, combined with our specialists and customer care team, take our sales organization to the next level by providing comprehensive sales, technical and solutions support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Ray Cooper, senior vice president, Healthcare Investment Banking Group Lehman Brothers adds, “From an industry perspective, the benefits of this new sales structure may be two-fold. It should improve customer satisfaction while also helping SourceOne capture more marketshare in the equipment arena by leveraging the company’s strong, existing relationships in the consumables market.”

SourceOne’s growing equipment portfolio includes a spectrum of Computed Radiography (CR) units, Computer Aided Detection (CAD) systems and ancillary women’s health products, lasers, digital radiographic technology, and image networking/PACS.

“We are all about partnering with our customers to implement innovative strategies to reduce costs, improve workflow, and to identify revenue generating opportunities,” said Bob White, SourceOne’s Chief Operating Officer. “With our new sales structure, we can achieve all of this while simultaneously streamlining the purchasing process so our customers have one sales representative who they can count on.”
