What is the customer saying
"We started testing the software in October 2012. We liked the system and it had a good pricing. However we needed some more specific features in order to fulfill our workflow.
Vertikal Systems customized the system upon our requests and now we use it in all our departments. The program covers all aspects of the hospital management and we were able to go paperless. We're happy with the system and with the fact that our requests were met promptly."
