About the Role:

As a Fortune 5 business, we’re one of the world’s leading healthcare companies. There are no limits here on the resources you’ll have or the challenges you’ll encounter.

Our unique portfolio of solutions is designed to help healthcare organizations of all sizes and complexity manage their specialized imaging applications. We help our customers in their endeavour to streamline their diagnostic medical imaging technology, as they focus on providing better patient care.

We deliver sustainable solutions that can grow and evolve with our customers and their ever-changing needs. We provide innovation in a way that is manageable and digestible for our customers. In Ireland, our solutions are deployed in most hospitals/healthcare facilities. We build, deploy and support these solutions. On behalf of the HSE, we are responsible for the National Integrated Medical Imaging System – NIMIS. This solution has servers and storage in data centers with a centralized architecture.
