GE Healthcare                                        12 Pages

GE Healthcare is in a very strong position. It has a broad range of solutions across the full Healthcare value stack and has strong presence across the globe. TekPlus expects GE Healthcare to grow profusely in the near future due to – 1) its strong product-line, 2) most of its target business areas (diagnostic imaging, patient monitoring, molecular imaging, scientific research in biotechnology, clinical IT) are growing steadily, 3) its stronger presence in life sciences with the acquisition of Amersham and 4) its solid financial stability. Given this it is still fair to say that the company will need to execute well at each country level if it wants to achieve this growth. TekPlus observes that the company still has to prove its new organisational structure, integrate all its recent acquisitions deeper as well as create a stronger ecosystem of partners both globally but mainly regionally and articulate the need for integrated end-to-end solutions. TekPlus still finds the marketing of GE Healthcare’s Vision very weak and the company needs to put an extra effort and dollars on articulating its vision across all spectrum and gender of end-users.
