Staying ahead of the curve with an evolving approach to enterprise imaging

Healthcare Business News spoke with Matthew Andersen, executive director of product management, Healthcare IT at Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas, to discuss the evolution of the Exa Platform, its unique PACS/RIS architecture, the company’s partner-driven strategy, and how AI is reshaping imaging workflows.

HCB News: Can you walk us through the original vision for the Exa Platform and how it has evolved over time?
Matthew Andersen: Exa originally launched as an on-premise, client-based integrated PACS/RIS system — one of the very first of its kind. At the time, most vendors offered PACS and RIS separately, often on separate databases. Exa was unique in delivering both within a single unified database, with each function able to be turned on or off without breaking that unified architecture. That tight integration was a differentiator from day one.
