Epson America, Inc., a leading supplier of value-added healthcare and payments solutions, announced recently at the 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), that TransEngen, Inc., a leader in patient payment technology for healthcare, has joined Epson's Envision Partner Program. Through the Envision Program, Epson will provide TransEngen with an extensive line of industry-leading printers and scanners, which TransEngen will offer to its customer base of over 15,000 healthcare providers across the U.S.

"Epson has the industry's most reliable and robust offering of printing and scanning solutions, and we are looking forward to becoming an integral part of TransEngen's offering," commented Mike Helm, Director of Sales and Marketing, Epson Business Systems Division. "We share the vision for designing technology solutions that promote greater efficiencies, which makes this a great fit."

"We are committed to improving the efficiency of the transactional process in healthcare by providing complete solutions that deliver actionable data at the point of care," said Gregory Morris, President and CEO and TransEngen.

The partnership with Epson is a natural step in extending best of breed technology to its partners and end clients.
