Digitalisation in the healthcare sector: future-proof IT with Microsoft

Improving care, streamlining processes, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. We support the medical technology, pharmaceutical, biotech and supplier industries in their digital transformation using Microsoft technologies.

Simply digitising the healthcare sector is not good enough. It must be properly regulated.

Hospitals are subject to KRITIS regulations, medical technology to the MDR, the pharmaceutical sector faces pressure to comply with validation requirements, and there is a shortage of IT staff across the board. We help you to reliably meet compliance requirements whilst enabling change. Using the Microsoft platform, ISO 13485- and IEC 62304-certified development and quality processes, and software developed and documented in accordance with medical device regulations.

IT challenges in the healthcare sector: does this sound familiar?

  • Their development must be documented in accordance with MDR. Excel spreadsheets, shared drives and email threads no longer stand up to scrutiny during an audit.

  • You fall under the KRITIS or NIS2 regulations and need a verifiable security strategy without having to set up your own SOC.

  • You are developing a medical app or software that needs to be authorised as a medical device. You are looking for a partner who can handle both the technical development and the regulatory requirements. 

  • Your equipment and laboratories use different systems. Manual documentation takes up research time that you urgently need elsewhere.

  • Your IT team is swamped with day-to-day tasks. Strategic issues such as cloud migration or modern work are being put on the back burner.

With the right Microsoft tools and processes, these challenges can be overcome. Here are our key services for the healthcare sector.
