Expands international reach of CSAM public safety niche solutions with benchmark eHealth products from Optima.
30/06/2021
Oslo, Norway: CSAM Health Group AS (“CSAM”), the leading provider of niche eHealth solutions in the Nordics, today announced it has signed a deal to acquire eHealth player Optima Corporation Ltd from Chicago, USA-based R1 RCM.
With the acquisition of Optima Corporation, CSAM Health Group will bring market-leading Optima products, impressive customer base and skilled teams in Auckland, New Zealand, Chicago, US, and Reading, UK, into the CSAM family.
– “Optima’s well-established “Predict” and “Live” product solutions expand CSAM Health Group’s reach significantly with marquee-level customers within the Public Safety arena already established in New Zealand, Australia, the US, Canada, UK and several other countries, including Norway and Denmark, “confirms Sverre Flatby, CEO, CSAM Health Group.
“In addition, adding valuable and proven software to further boost our rescue services will not only benefit all our clients but also increase CSAM’s rapidly growing market presence into new, exciting territories.”
The new products will be added to CSAM’s growing bouquet of public safety solutions within the eHealth arena, adding Optima’s enhanced solutions for optimization of the rescue services through prediction and analytical software and services.
“Our ambition is to be the preferred option for public safety agencies who want advanced operational and planning capabilities that go beyond guesswork, continues Flatby. Combined with the acquisition of Carmenta Public Health in February, Optima brings us one step closer to solidifying our goal of being the market-leading provider of niche eHealth solutions within the public safety domain.”
