|
| We have a continued focus on strong technology themes and I
am delighted with the ongoing development of our close relationship
with Microsoft during 2003. The value of this relationship was
best evidenced in the year by the selection of iSOFT as one of
the 30 global launch partners, and the only European software
partner, chosen by Microsoft for the Windows XP Tablet PC edition
operating system launch. |
|
| The strength of our relationship with Microsoft is also evidenced
by our recent commitment to Microsoft .NET architectures as the
technological basis for our latest generation of products. |
|
| On a wider partnership theme, iSOFT’s approach to business
is to view our chosen activities as a series of partnerships with
customers, complementary suppliers and local employees. Delivering
the integrated care record solution and associated application
services is something that is best done with a truly collaborative
approach. |
|
|
| iSOFT’s
clear business strategy and focus on the
healthcare market, together with an industrial
strength development organisation make
us the leading applications provider in
the field and, we believe, the company
best placed to deliver, in our chosen
markets, against the demanding targets
set by the modern healthcare economies
of the world. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Through our partnerships we will support the realisation of
significant efficiency improvements, we will revolutionise the
tools that professionals use to deliver healthcare services and
help change the way that patients experience the journey of care.
|
|
| In doing so, iSOFT will play an important role in the reform
of the modernising healthcare economies over the coming years.
