Signed several major multi-site contracts, including with Intermountain Healthcare, described by President Obama and other U.S. leaders as ‘a model for the rest of the nation.’

“While this has been a record year for sales, the investment we made in the business over the year is perhaps more significant,” said Keith Neilson, CEO of Craneware. “We have increased our sales team, expanded our network of alliances and enhanced our product set and customer offering.”

Neilson stated that recently passed healthcare reform legislation will drive growth in the space.

“The U.S. healthcare industry is debating the early effects of healthcare reform and what the rollout of this legislation will mean as it’s introduced over the next eight years,” he said. “This means the drivers for growth in coming years could be higher than those we have experienced in the past. Craneware’s focus on mitigating risk for our customers and delivering financial and operational efficiencies means we are well positioned to benefit from the unprecedented changes we expect to see in healthcare in the U.S.”

According to Neilson, the company currently has $89.8 million of revenues under contract.

“With industry leading product sets and an enviable customer base, our focus now will be on achieving operational excellence and providing the next generation of solutions to help our customers face the challenges that healthcare reform will present.”
