Introduction
The Service Platform contains a set of software modules that are common to all ultrasound and
cardiology systems containing a PC back end. This web-enabled technology provides linkage to e-
Services, e-Commerce, and the iCenter, making GE’s scanners more e-enabled than ever. The Service
Platform will increase service productivity and reduce training and service costs.
