Microsoft expands medical software business

InternetNews | at | by Mike

Microsoft is usually thought of as the Windows and Office software company, but it has many vertical businesses as well that don't get as much spotlight, but none the less quite a bit of effort from the software giant. Medical support software is one of them. The company has acquired several firms in that space and works with some of the largest health care firms in the world. Today it added another tool to its medical software toolbox.

Microsoft said Wednesday it will buy private health-care software firm Sentillion and integrate it with its Amalga line of health management software.
