Dobco Medical Systems — a leading Belgian technology company with over 300 customers in eight countries, cloud-native PACS solution, and an average annual recurring revenue growth of 25% - has merged with the Dedalus Group. An important strategic milestone for Dedalus Diagnostic Imaging IT and Dobco in their shared ambition to innovate across the continuum of care. In 2018, Fortino Capital Partners joined the founders of Dobco as a minority shareholder to support the Company with its international growth and increased investments in R&D.
Since its founding in 2011, Dobco Medical Systems has responded to the challenges in medical imaging with continuous innovation – becoming a leading provider of RIS and PACS.
Dobco’s two founders, Jan Dobbenie (CEO) and Kristof Coucke (CTO), remain anchored and active in Dobco Medical Systems. Together with Dedalus, they are driven to further shape the shared vision of a cloud native medical imaging platform. As a result, the capabilities of Dobco solutions will expand faster.
