The agreement between the three companies involves bringing on Medrex, LLC (New York) and Medrex Systems (Ireland), Ltd. as vendor-approved resellers (VAR) for both Nauvalis' HealthPorttm Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) and the company's Remote Data Warehouse capabilities. Nauvalis is also making available remote support for each application.

Toya Dubin, Vice President of Medrex, LLC (New York), facilitated the opportunity for both companies. She stated, "We are extremely enthusiastic about our partnership with Nauvalis and [Medrex Systems (Ireland), Ltd.] because it will create one of the first international medical data repositories. We have experienced the successful deployment of Nauvalis' solutions to our own customers for several years. As a result, we were completely confident about the functionality for our partner in Ireland."

With the Nauvalis solution now available to all public and private hospitals within Ireland, Anton O'Carroll of Medrex Systems (Ireland) Ltd. was excited about future opportunities made possible by this agreement. "We are very fortunate to be in a position to offer the Nauvalis experience to our existing clients and to all prospective clients."

"The HealthPorttm solution and Nauvalis' Remote Data Warehouse puts [Medrex Systems (Ireland) Ltd.] in a unique position to build on our success in not only Ireland but in Europe. Our nearest neighbor, Britain, is set to invest 30 billion dollars (US) in the coming years in upgrading their health information system to include Electronic Patient Records. It is our intention to be there with our partner Nauvalis to take advantage of these new opportunities."

"Establishing this new relationship signifies the completion of an enormously important milestone in our history. Early on, as we developed web-based solutions for our clients, we always knew there was a much larger application of our technology world-wide" said Torrey Barnhouse, Chief Visionary Officer of Nauvalis Healthcare Solutions. "The success of Medrex, LLC (New York) has converted the New York Metropolitan area into our largest data warehousing market to date.
