VNA for the CIO
ITN - Imaging Technology News
November 06, 2014
Selecting the right VNA platform can be a daunting process. Ensuring the platform contains core VNA features and functionality is critical to the success of the implementation and return on investment. Without a clear expectation of what those features should be, a misinformed decision could lead to a costly and resource-intensive mistake. A VNA platform, when correctly implemented with the right team, will provide years of service and scalability to match the demands of an expanding imaging infrastructure. Maintaining a high-level view of core capabilities expected from a VNA prevents wading around in a minutia of feature functionality.
