Expression Networks, working on the development of the “NETCCN” (National Emergency Tele-Critical Care Network) for TATRC (U.S. Army's Telemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center), was on a search for a FedRAMP compliant platform for their software to facilitate secure and virtual critical care management. They found their solution with InfusionPoints’ XBU40 Solution. XBU40 speeds up the FedRAMP journey for clients with strict timeline constraints that require a FedRAMP compliant solution quickly!
