Executive Summary
Siemens Medical Solutions is to distribute Impac Medical Systems's Lantis oncology information system for another five years, following an extension to their long-standing agreement. Siemens has been packaging Impac's software product with its own oncology systems since 1992, when the two companies first signed the distribution contract. The agreement underlines the firms' commitment to promote an open systems environment, enabling customers to pick "best-of-breed" solutions, said Mountain View, California-based Impac, which was bought by Swedish group Elekta in April this year.
