Secure image storage for 7,000,000 images, 5,000 users, 1,0000 institutions. By end of second year, number of images should be 15,000,000; users up to 10,000; institutions up to 2,000.
Software architecture has physicians ("Users") being grouped into offices ("institutions.") That gives us the ability to private label each institution as necessary using partners to sell in a 'powered-by' model. For example:
medical equipment supplier A will sell ImageStore branded as "Supplier A Image Management."
medical equipment supplier B will sell ImageStore branded as "Supplier B Image Management."
We can easily support that on an institution by institution basis.
