Complimentary capabilities, customers, and approaches lead to merger of innovative Health IT solution providers

McLean, VA May 12, 2014 – Dovel Technologies, a leader in software application development and emerging information technology solutions, announced today they have acquired Rockville-based RNSolutions. The acquisition expands Dovel’s footprint in the federal Health IT space.
