Acuo puts you in the driver's seat, enabling you to choose technologies, timeframes and strategies that suit your needs, not the needs of your vendor. Our  patented approach to clinical content lifecycle management allows your healthcare organization to pursue more aggressive growth and acquisition strategies, integrating disparate systems quickly and avoiding expensive and resource-consuming "rip and replace" projects.

We offer you more choice in storage platforms, with freedom to choose when and what to deploy without worrying about costly outages and migrations by storage vendors. We help you be better positioned to negotiate prices and terms with existing PACS vendors by ensuring there is data agility and therefore no "vendor lock-in" at the time of contracting. Acuo advantages include:

one place to gō : provide a single integration point for all medical imaging assets across all disciplines in a centralized or distributed grid.

take back contrōl : Acuō means never having to worry about a migration or vendor lock‐in. Free your archive from PACS and take back control, ownership and responsibility for your clinical data.

grōw without limits : experience gains in performance, scalability and availability, facilitating on‐demand capacity growth, with no impact to caregivers, using the power of grid computing.

ōbliterate boundaries : enable interoperability and data sharing across multiple PACS vendors, departments, clinics, hospitals and other systems.

lōwer cost and risk : minimize financial and operational impact, reducing costs through flexibility of choice in infrastructure, consolidation, bandwidth and "never‐again" migration.
