MSCP has been actively tracking the outsourced clinical engineering space for several years and has a deep understanding of the industry and various business models. MSCP engaged their operations team early in the process as they recognized the importance of looking at value creation from multiple angles. This made them an ideal partner to contribute meaningfully to our strategic efforts both organically and inorganically so that we can hit the ground running immediately post close."
