NEXUS / Enterprise Imaging GmbH

What NEXUS / Enterprise Imaging GmbH does

NEXUS / Enterprise Imaging GmbH is a German healthcare IT vendor specializing in medical imaging, radiology information systems and enterprise content management for hospitals and radiology practices. Originally founded in 1995 as RVC Medical IT and rebranded in September 2022 following integration into NEXUS AG, the company is headquartered in Freiburg with additional offices in Ulm, the Netherlands and Belgium, serving approximately 600 enterprise customers across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria. The product suite is built on a modular, IHE-compliant platform anchored by Clinical PACS (a Class IIb certified picture archiving and communication system) and Clinical Repository, a Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) that consolidates DICOM and non-DICOM data into a unified digital patient record. Supporting modules cover radiation dose management (Clinical Dosismanagement), external image ingestion (PACS-Integrator), radiology workflows (RIS), enterprise content management (ECM), structured reporting across multiple specialties (Clinical Assistant), HTML5 web viewing (Clinical Insight), and MDK billing audit communication (MD Workspace). The platform supports DICOM, HL7 and FHIR standards and integrates with major hospital information systems including Cerner, CGM, SAP i.s.h.med and CARW.

The company operates a three-stream revenue model: recurring subscription licenses and support contracts for its software modules, procurement and resale of medical imaging hardware (CR/DR, X-ray, MRI, ultrasound, C-arms) from partners including Fujifilm, Agfa, Konica-Minolta and Shimadzu, and professional services covering implementation, training and technical support. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year enterprise contracts and modular entry-level to multi-tenant multi-site deployment tiers. Go-to-market combines a direct enterprise sales force with channel partners including Deutsche Telekom Healthcare Solutions, NEXUS Cloud IT and NEXUS Schweiz AG, complemented by sister-brand integrations (NEXUS / CHILI for portals and teleradiology, NEXUS / MARABU for ECM). AI functionality is sourced via partnerships with deepc and Omilon rather than developed internally. The company is led by three managing directors (Wolfgang Schmezer, Thorsten Schmidt, Dr. Heiko Münch), holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certifications, and actively positions around German hospital digitalization funding programs (KHZG, KHVVG, KHTFV).
