At the end of the day, when I speak with my users, what’s important to them is: 'do I get my cases quickly, do I have the functionality that I need to have, and does the system function without any glitches?' Moving PACS to the cloud is a way of ensuring that end-users have the reliability, speed and features that they need."

Amir Soheili, Vice President of Digital Health & Diagnostics at Southlake Regional Health Sciences Centre

The cloud is not the destination. The cloud is to enable us all to level up to a platform we can build from. It’s not just about getting to the cloud, but it’s everything you’ll be able to do after that’s going to be interesting because otherwise, we’re just going to stagnate."
