TMG Cloudland acquires Primary IT to advance NZ healthcare IT
TMG Cloudland has announced its acquisition of Wellington-based Primary IT as part of its effort to enhance the healthcare technology landscape across New Zealand. By joining forces, the companies aim to improve patient outcomes, reduce wait times, and elevate the overall quality of healthcare service delivery in the country.
Primary IT is well-regarded for its tailored IT services, which focus on improving operational efficiency and patient care within healthcare practices. The merger is expected to leverage the strengths of both organisations to better support general practitioners (GPs) and other healthcare providers.
Richie Jenkins, Chief Customer Officer of TMG Cloudland, emphasised the positive impact this merger is set to have on the healthcare sector. "We are driven to make a truly positive impact in New Zealand’s health sector by providing GPs with the right technology coupled with outstanding support. Matthew and the team at Primary IT share this ambition and are a great fit culturally," said Jenkins. He highlighted that the merger would help address existing challenges in primary health, such as budget constraints and resourcing pressures. "Our combined strengths will support practices in effectively doing more with less, ensuring they can continue to deliver high-quality care,” he added.
Matthew Leahy, CEO of Primary IT, echoed Jenkins’ enthusiasm for the merger. “Joining TMG Cloudland allows us to offer our clients a broader range of services and advanced technologies,” said Leahy. He emphasised that the partnership would provide healthcare practices with more robust and reliable IT solutions, allowing them to focus more on patient care rather than technology management. “Together, we will provide practices with more robust, reliable, and innovative IT solutions, ensuring they can focus more on patient care and less on technology management," stated Leahy.
Clients of both TMG Cloudland and Primary IT can expect a seamless transition. The companies aim to maintain the same high-quality services while prioritising security, stability, and seamless integration. The merger promises to bring enhanced IT support and technology services to healthcare practices across New Zealand, which will be crucial in helping them navigate the current pressures faced in the healthcare industry.
Both organisations are committed to delivering practical and easy-to-use IT solutions that will modernise and simplify IT management in healthcare settings, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and reliability.
