Novarad introduces guaranteed TCO for Ncompass Enterprise Imaging implementations
Novarad introduced its guaranteed total cost of ownership (TCO) pricing model for its Ncompass Enterprise Imaging system. One of the high-risk challenges of budget planning in a healthcare environment is unpredicted or undisclosed maintenance and support costs.
Novarad has offered fully inclusive pricing plans on clinical solution products such as PACS, Cardiology and Mammography for many years. By extending this to Enterprise Imaging, healthcare facilities can perform an upgrade with full confidence of predictable costs.
Novarad’s controlled pricing model includes 24/7 U.S.-based support, software upgrades for the life of the agreement and if included in the deployment, ongoing hardware updates. Additionally, healthcare providers benefit by paying only for the services and storage they use—all costs that would fall under TCO.
TCO is a well-known and vital piece to the healthcare operations puzzle. According to Gartner, “An upfront focus on TCO can help reduce the long-term cost of maintaining and supporting applications. TCO should be a primary consideration during the procurement phase of all major applications and systems, not five years later.”
Novarad is in booth #8015 at HIMSS18.
