Interesting move, but: this, folks, is why hospitals buy from $BIGCORP (Epic, GE, Siemens).<p>edit: to clarify, by "this" I mean "stability". One path to build a medical software company has been to start by targeting individual practices, clinics, and small hospitals. That is still possible, and there are plenty of companies doing it. But that path is getting harder to take in the US because of medical industry consolidation. Even "independent" practices now usually have referring affiliations, and more often than not this means that they use the hospital network's existing software infrastructure.
Congrats to the MedXT team they built a beautiful DICOM viewer and had a good cap structure which makes this a win/win for them and Box. Box now has an Saas offering into the most on-premise space in enterprise IT.
