TORONTO, Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - ACTO achieved 158% year to date revenue growth and has digitally transformed over 50 life sciences companies, including global pharma, medical device, and dental companies.

Several industry awards have recognized ACTO's enterprise-grade technology.

"It's an exciting time to be in healthcare.
