Who We Are
IMS MAXIMS was founded in 1986 and works with public and independent healthcare sectors throughout the UK and Ireland. Acquired by Total Specific Solutions (TSS) in April 2023, IMS MAXIMS is an independant unit with TSS.
Our Headquarters are in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin and we also have offices in Suceava Romania and Milton Keynes.
The company has grown through a mixture of organic expansion and acquisition, including the acquisition of PAS and radiology clients and software in 1995/6.
IMS MAXIMS has developed and delivered web based, EPR since 2007.
Whilst the acute hospital sector is at the heart of IMS MAXIMS, we work across community care and mental health. We can work with any customer from a small clinic to an Integrated Care System across multiple Trusts.
IMS MAXIMS continues to grow through our partnerships and channels, our organic growth and by continually developing and releasing additional apps and functionality that our Irish and UK customers require.
