IntellaPACS announces name change to Emergent Connect

In an effort to further its commitment to healthcare, IntellaPACS, a leading provider of cloud-based PACS software, has changed its corporate name to Emergent Connect.

A new company website and an updated brand identity will be created in hopes to continue shaping the future of radiology software.

"As a company with its roots in digital technology solutions, we are committed to being the preferred leader in digital imaging and Radiology software solutions," said Chris Thompson, recently appointed Vice President, Sales and Marketing of Emergent Connect in a statment. "This alignment and new brand identity of our digital imaging and software business establishes the next logical step in supporting our future growth and development."

For the past five years, the name IntellaPACS has been used to support 47,000 users and serve 67,000 facilities nationwide. The adoption of the name will bridge digital imaging and software business and serve customers' needs in a more efficient manner with a single brand.

The name change will also deliver medical imaging and advanced workflow management with a cloud-based architecture platform.
