ACS said the acquisition would bolster its outsourcing capabilities for its NHS Primary Care Trust customers.
Vin Murria, chief executive of ACS, said: “With its hosting, disaster recovery and outsourcing capabilities, the acquisition of BSG will enable ACS to speed up the rollout of our core growth SaaS products, in particular iNurse (a mobile device for community nurses), Summary Care Record (a single view of the patient record) and End of Life (applications for managing palliative care).”
Nick Gerard, Group chief executive of BSG, said: “The benefit to BSG in being part of the ACS group is substantial. Our strategy is to grow our contracted revenues and the opportunity to do this within ACS around strategic product rollouts is supportive of the company's overall direction.”
