Right now we are content to pull our own weight whenever possible and partner with the OEM. Our X-Ray equipment service model is to request OEM assistance when we encounter issues that require your special training or experience. I hope you new model can seek to apply leverage with your Dutch corporate administration to relax the restrictions they impose on our in House service departments. We have attended formal Philips X-Ray equipment service training and then denied access to our equipment. We can't even change the Date or Hospital name on our systems without purchasing a contract or T&M service. These restrictions do not open Hospitals up to considering Philips equipment.

Greeting everyone, this new model of healthcare reform, remember back in 1995 no one was open to healthcare reform, 20 years later here we are, nation divide but we all know something has to be done, Philip is promoting business model leasing is better than owning a car, so if you get max use out of equipment and justify set cost, then hospitals are on track for affordable care. OEM have advantage much greater then the in house service guy. OEM usually charge 1000% margin to sell. Its hard to fight with large cooperation with international business role, better to join, pretty soon large OEM will become provider just as dialysis company with Frenius.
