  • 11 years ago Posted in

BridgeHead Software has recently appointed five new team members to accelerate growth of the business in EMEA. Andrew Carr has been named Director of Alliances, Shaun Smale as Solutions Consultant, Neil Brown as Solution Engineer, Natalie Shanks as Internal Account Manager and Pavlin Penchev as Marketing Communications Executive.


“The EMEA healthcare market has really opened up for BridgeHead lately. Many NHS Trusts are now taking a more strategic view of their data and are engaging with BridgeHead, to explore the use of our Healthcare Data Management (HDM) Solution, to help them achieve their goals. Others are simply looking for a robust disaster recovery solution for all of their hospital systems and data. Additionally in the UK, there are a number of VNA and data migration opportunities that have resulted from the PACS and RIS refresh following the demise of the National Programme for IT (NPfIT),” explains Jim Beagle, President and CEO at BridgeHead Software.


Beagle continues, “to build on our existing success, and drive our position forward in the healthcare market, we have invested heavily in our people resources. We are delighted to have onboarded such a talented pool of individuals who will, no doubt, be vital in helping the company evolve to the next phase of its growth, not just in the UK, but across EMEA.”
