"With eMDs, we are taking our US business to a new dimension.

The Group, which is domiciled in Germany, is one of the world's leading providers of eHealth solutions. "We are also expanding our sales network with another 100 partners through the acquisition. We are now even better and more broadly positioned, in order to take advantage of the current growth trend in the US market for health IT, for the benefit of patients and health professionals."

Benedikt Brückle, Senior Vice President Northern America of CompuGroup Medical SE & Co. KGaA, "I am looking forward to working with Derek Pickell and his team. We have consistently focused our company on growth and scale over the past years. With the acquisitions of eMDs and the acquisition of Laboratory Information System provider Schuyler House, also completed in December, this will allow us to grow at an above-average and profitable rate in the coming years."

Derek Pickell, CEO of eMDs, emphasizes in his comment: "The investment by CompuGroup Medical gives us all an additional push. With combined forces, we will offer solutions that help our customers, partners and employees to improve services - and thereby serve the health of all patients.
