The increased range of services that thecombined entity can provide has aided InnoServ in its developmentof a multivendor asset management program to service all of ahospital's diagnostic imaging equipment.
MMI Medical last month also reported financial results forthe first quarter (end-July). Revenues were down sharply, withrevenues of $8.7 million in the first quarter of this year comparedto $11 million in the same period a year ago.
