Usaco Corporation™ and wired.MD®, Inc. Announce Partnership in Japan.
Usaco Corporation is an information services intermediary that links and networks science information societies, medical schools, medical libraries throughout Asia with new and innovative products from reseller partnership companies like wired.MD. Usaco predominately resells and distributes well received U.S.-based products predominantly to medical schools, medical libraries, and healthcare organizations throughout Japan. wired.MD and Usaco have formed a partnership where Usaco will resell the streaMed patient education solution as well as the streaMed CCTV product offering. Usaco will work to distribute these products to forward thinking medical schools and medical centers who are new and or existing customers of the organization.
Usaco is well recognized as a key channel into Japan for new and innovative healthcare information applications that are built and sold in the United States. Usaco provides a unique reselling opportunity in that many of their end clients see U.S. based products as the standard for quality healthcare information. Usaco further provides a unique distribution channel in that many of their medical university end clients speak English as a secondary language. wired.MD will be able to bring a critical product offering to the Usaco suite of products both because wired.MD has a highly innovative product solution as well as the fact that wired.MD has content and products localized in Japanese.
“wired.MD’s vision is to ‘educate the masses’ and this clearly includes patients and healthcare consumers on a global scale. Therefore, Usaco is a highly synergistic partnership opportunity as they have the distribution and the relationships to sell patient education products in Japan.” says Mark Friess, CEO of wired.MD.
