Services
Product
The DMS services segment focuses on updates, support, maintenance, and training expenses.

With investments in R&D, many new products are expected to be launched in this segment during the forecast period.

Segmentation of the global medical documentation management market by deployment model

As the software is maintained at the vendor's data center, corporate IT departments of hospitals and care centers incur lower costs on services available on a subscription basis. It eliminates all complexities involving software installation at the premises of the user. The cloud-based segment is expected to grow rapidly until 2019.

Hospitals
Care centers and specialty homes
