Mirasys Main Shareholder Now A Distributor
Finland-based Mirasys is one of the oldest VMS providers but it has never become a major player. Now, in an atypical move, a distributor has become a 'main shareholder'.
Inside this note, we examine the move, review the financials of both Mirasys and the distributor and look at Mirasys's challenges in an attempt to become a self-proclaimed 'deep vision data company', including talking with Mirasys CEO Erich Kusuki.
