Cygna Labs’ will ensure VitalQIP customers not only receive extensive ongoing maintenance and support services, including global 24×7 support but will also be able to take advantage of Cygna Labs’ expertise and innovation. The product will remain a standalone product line and has already been incorporated into Cygna Labs’ portfolio of managed service offerings.
