Most suppliers of information technology to the NHS are not specialised in mobile and wireless technology", says Tobias Alpsten, iPLATOs managing director. But this type of technology is quickly emerging as a required capability for IT suppliers to compete effectively in the healthcare solutions market. The challenge of our customers is to keep up with the extremely fast paced evolution of m-health without losing focus of what brought them to become successful players in this complex sector in the first place. We just dont see many companies grabbing the mobile opportunity with both hands and thats where we can help. Arjen Soetekouw, iPLATOs commercial director adds Essentially enabled by iPLATOs range of mobile and wireless skills, from research and strategy definition, over partnerships to product development and marketing, we can help our customers effectively address the mobile opportunity by making wireless technology an integral part of their competency; providing highly specialised technology solutions to the healthcare sector."
