Eviden launches “Cloud for Clinics” offering in Germany

Berlin, Germany – October 14, 2024 – Eviden, an Atos Group business leading in digital, cloud, big data and security, today announces its “Cloud for Clinics” offering, a pre-integrated and secure platform for healthcare providers in Germany and the wider DACH region that will be built on AWS, which is sovereign by design, and uses AWS security services. The platform will help hospitals to accelerate their digital journey by providing a future-proof, secure and compliant platform pre-packaged with integrated healthcare solutions.

Digitalization is at the heart of the modernization of hospitals and clinics alleviating doctors and nursing staff of administrative strain and supporting planning and decision-making. At the same time, smarter IT solutions increase the efficiency of healthcare providers, deliver faster innovation and make new technologies more accessible in everyday use. IT professionals working in healthcare institutions are under enormous pressure, facing increased cyber security threats, the need to adapt to ever changing compliance (e.g. NIS2^[1]), regulations (KHZG^[2]) and a shifting strategic and economic environment (integrated care).

With “Cloud for Clinics”, Eviden is developing a fully managed, pre-integrated cloud-based platform, based on its experience of collaborating with hundreds of German hospitals providing them with critical core services such as SAP transformation, IT security and data strategy, which includes the following components:

• Industry Healthcare Landing Zone for the DACH region, providing platform-level compliance in full accordance with the latest SGB V regulation and fully C5 compliant, including cloud operations in Europe.
• Pre-configured and constantly growing application core based on an SAP template for clinics and a data strategy to bring clinics’ data assets out of their silos and make them available for better planning and decision support.
• Centralized data room for unified data management and facilitated value creation from clinical and operational data.
• Complete managed security (SIEM/SOC, cloud security, incident response) based on BSI-certified Eviden Trusted Security Services.
• Continuous expansion of the central platform service for a future-proof solution.

Udo Littke, Managing Director Eviden Germany, Atos Group, emphasizes the key benefits of “Cloud for Clinics”: “Cloud for Clinics leverages Eviden’s decades of experience in providing services to hospitals and clinics as a trusted partner for security, SAP and innovative clinical data strategies that will be based on existing AWS Regions and the AWS European Sovereign Cloud.”

Michael von Wagner, CMIO of the University Hospital Frankfurt, welcomes the initiative: “The digitalization of the hospital landscape requires compliance-tested platforms for our clinics so that we can quickly and legally utilize the added value of the cloud.”

The “Cloud for Clinics” solution will be deployed in the upcoming AWS European Sovereign Cloud, giving the solution a higher level of control and compliance.

Max Peterson VP, Sovereign Cloud at Amazon Web Services, welcomed the launch: We’re thrilled that Cloud for Clinics will be available on existing AWS Regions and the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. This will give healthcare customers more choice to help meet their unique digital sovereignty needs, allowing them to benefit from the full power of the cloud while meeting necessary requirements. We look forward to our continued collaboration with Eviden and are excited to see how organizations across Germany and the DACH region will drive advancements with this new offering.”
