(PRESS RELEASE) BERLIN, 14-Oct-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Eviden, a prominent division of the Atos Group specializing in digital solutions, cloud services, big data, and security, has announced the launch of its groundbreaking “Cloud for Clinics” platform. Set to be built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), this pre-integrated, secure offering is designed specifically for healthcare providers in Germany and the wider DACH region. The platform aims to facilitate hospitals’ digital transformation by providing a robust, compliant, and future-proof infrastructure equipped with integrated healthcare solutions.

Digital transformation is essential for modernizing hospitals and clinics, helping alleviate the administrative burdens faced by doctors and nursing staff. By leveraging advanced IT solutions, healthcare providers can enhance operational efficiency, accelerate innovation, and ensure that new technologies are seamlessly incorporated into daily practices. However, IT professionals in healthcare are grappling with heightened cybersecurity threats, evolving compliance mandates (such as NIS2), and the challenges posed by integrated care in a shifting economic landscape.

The “Cloud for Clinics” initiative represents Eviden’s commitment to developing a fully managed, pre-integrated cloud platform, leveraging its extensive experience working with hundreds of German hospitals.

The platform will deliver essential services, including:

• An Industry Healthcare Landing Zone tailored for the DACH region, ensuring compliance with the latest SGB V regulations and full C5 certification, including cloud operations within Europe.
• A pre-configured, continually expanding application core based on an SAP template for clinics, alongside a data strategy aimed at breaking down data silos to improve planning and decision-making.
• A centralized data repository that facilitates unified data management and enables value creation from both clinical and operational data.
• Comprehensive managed security services (SIEM/SOC, cloud security, incident response) based on Eviden’s BSI-certified Trusted Security Services.
• Ongoing enhancements to the central platform service, ensuring its longevity and adaptability.

Udo Littke, Managing Director of Eviden Germany at Atos Group, highlighted the advantages of the “Cloud for Clinics” platform, stating, “This initiative harnesses our decades of expertise in serving hospitals and clinics, establishing Eviden as a trusted partner for security, SAP, and innovative clinical data strategies, all grounded in the existing AWS Regions and the AWS European Sovereign Cloud.”

Michael von Wagner, Chief Medical Information Officer at the University Hospital Frankfurt, expressed his support for the initiative: “The digitalization of our hospital landscape necessitates compliance-tested platforms that enable us to swiftly and legally harness the benefits of the cloud.”

The “Cloud for Clinics” solution will be implemented within the forthcoming AWS European Sovereign Cloud, providing enhanced control and compliance features.

Max Peterson, VP of Sovereign Cloud at Amazon Web Services, welcomed this development, stating, “We are excited that the ‘Cloud for Clinics’ will be accessible through existing AWS Regions and the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. This offering gives healthcare customers greater choice to meet their specific digital sovereignty requirements, allowing them to harness the full potential of the cloud while adhering to necessary compliance standards. We eagerly anticipate our continued collaboration with Eviden and look forward to seeing how this new offering will drive advancements in healthcare across Germany and the DACH region.”
