Allen Technologies Revenue and Competitors

Allen Technologies\' vision is to be the premier provider of interactive networks for forward-thinking hospitals seeking to provide a unique and cost-effective method for the converged delivery of television, telephone, Internet, nurse call and bedside data to patients and medical staff. Allen has centered its market focus on the health care industry by building in-house broadband and digital networks for which multiple applications have been developed to meet the needs of both patients and staff while creating operational efficiencies for the hospital. Allen introduced its first control network in 1982. The network was used primarily to operate pay television and telephone services in hospitals. In 1986 Allen introduced P1, its first interactive network. P1 offered the automated distribution of patient and staff education materials, on-demand pay television and telephone services and interactive patient surveys. In 1996 Allen introduced the advanced technology of the P2 system, which upgraded the level of services to include on-demand video, on-demand patient and staff training, interactive testing, patient surveys and meal ordering. In 2003 Allen began migration to Vigo and Vigo OneTouch, using emerging digital technology to converge television, telephone, Internet, and clinical applications into one network. VIGO provides hospitals with the opportunity for the first time to use one network backbone to deliver services such as IPTV, Cisco IP Telephony, and clinical applications for such services as medication management. P1, P2 and Vigo and Vigo OneTouch systems are installed in premier hospitals throughout North America, Puerto Rico and Australia. Allen Technologies owns the distinction of having installed the first interactive television network in healthcare. The company has remained at the forefront of its industry for more than twenty years, a testament to the company\'s passion, commitment to customer service, and reputation for innovation and delivery.
