Making digital data accessible for both the internal and external customer.
Today hospitals are confronted with an explosion of digital data and processes, plus more highly demanding Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that are better attuned to the importance of the data and the permanent pressure on operational budgets.

Cloud computing is a business model where IT is offered as a service. Scalability, cost efficiency and flexibility are the main drivers in this trend.
