What's driving the Mach7 share price?

The Mach7 share price is on the move after the company reported it has expanded its relationship with Adventist Health.

According to the release, Mach7 will provide Adventist Health the licence for its Mach7 Picture Archive Communication System (PACS) solution. This includes the Mach7 Enterprise Imaging Platform, eUnity Diagnostic Viewer, Mach7 Universal Worklist, Mach7 QC Module, and Mach7 Clinical Portal.

Under the agreement, the software licence will be rolled out in stages as per Adventist Health's individual hospital directions. Mach7 is anticipating that 3 of the 22 hospitals will place an order within the current quarter, reflecting immediate short-term revenue generation.

The remaining orders are mostly expected to be completed by the end of the 2021 calendar year.

The contract is worth $7.9 million, and includes migration services as well as support and maintenance for 5 years.
