Orion Health Asia Pacific has signed an agreement with Microsoft to purchase the assets of its Amalga HIS, RIS, and PACS software business in Southeast Asia.
Microsoft discontinued the development and sale of its Amalga HIS and RIS/PACS products in July 2010 to focus on its Amalga Unified Intelligence System data aggregation software. Orion Health will take over the Amalga HIS and RIS/PACS software and market it in the Asia-Pacific region under the name Orion Health PPM suite.
The two companies have also signed a memorandum of understanding to comarket their health information exchange (HIE) and data aggregation and analysis products, the Orion Health HIE and the Unified Intelligence System, to public and private HIEs and integrated delivery network (IDN) markets.
Orion Health said that the collaborative agreement will enable public and private HIEs and IDNs to acquire HIE and workflow solutions in conjunction with data aggregation, analytics, and reporting capabilities.
