Ab Juni wird der, auch in Deutschland vetretene, Bürobedarf-Spezialist “Staples” einen 3D-Drucker in sein Sortiment aufnehmen. Für $1299.99 kommt der kompakte “Cube” zunächst in die US-Filialen. Dies könnte ein weiterer Schritt für die preiswerte Verbreitung dieser Technologie sein!
The startup scene is familiar ground for many MedCrunch readers. So is its lingo and concepts. The lean startup movement with proponents such as Eric Ries and Steve Blank has been an important voice, when it comes to entrepreneurship and building companies in the tech environment – Just think “agile development” or “customer development”. These processes are all about rapid iteration, hypothesis generation, falsification and fast learning and are commonly used in software programing. They were born out of the notion that startups cannot be managed like small brothers of big companies. They have to validate their business models first and only then they can grow up to become like their corporate counterparts. Some major questions every startup entrepreneur should ask him/herself according to some of these entrepreneurial concepts are: 1. What problem are we solving? 2.

aycan has been using Apple Macintosh computers to run its medical solutions for over 10 years due in part to their intuitive interfaces and overall reliability. A recent study by IBM validates these and other benefits of choosing Mac computers over Windows PCs.
In the study posted on 9to5mac.com, IBM found that only 5% of Apple users contact IT support vs. 40% of Windows PC users. Because of this, the spending to replace Window’s PC’s with Mac’s is quickly offset by the lower support cost. In the article, IBM’s VP of Workplace-as-a-Service Fletcher Previn noted, “Every Mac that we buy is making and saving IBM money.”
In these times of cost constraints and budget cuts, hospitals and medical practices need to address reductions in IT spending and switching from PC’s to Macs is one way to significantly do that. aycan can show you how to integrate Mac-based RIS and PACS applications into your environment, so your organization can benefit by the type of cost savings outlined in the article.
