Maincare solutions announces the acquisition of Anticyclone, a leading French provider of speech recognition and document management software for hospitals.

Anticyclone was founded in 2004 and has experienced rapid growth on the back of i) its joint offer which combines best-of-breed speech recognition and document management and ii) strong demand for software optimising workflow management in public hospitals.  It now serves ~100 healthcare institutions and has a total user-base of 22,000 medical professionals.

Maincare and Anticyclone have been partners since 2009.  The acquisition will enable Maincare to embed a best-of-breed solution in its new software platform and drive commercial synergies across the business.  Anticyclone will become a new business unit within the Group.
