With roots going back to the year 1441 and residing at its current location since 1931, Klinikum Fürth has continued growing and modernizing over the years.
Customer: Klinikum Fürth
Industry: Public health care
Services Provided: Migration to Office 365 ProPlus, deployment of eperi Security Gateway encryption solution
The primary goal of the Klinikum Fürth's actions was to replace all the existing Novell GroupWise systems and services with current Microsoft-based technologies. Secondly, the majority of employees needed an e-mail application for their day-to-day work. Finally, staff should be able to access their work e-mail securely while on the go or at home.
In the frame of SoftwareONE’s consultancy, the clinic's management chose to establish Exchange Online as the main system for communication. Office 365 ProPlus also were made available on clients, where it serves around a third of users as a standardized, locally installed application for MS Word, Excel and Outlook.
The majority of employees, who needed an e-mail app only, were provided with the Outlook web app as part of Office Online. Azure Directory Federation Services were implemented to enable the employees to be authenticated automatically in the Outlook web or Office ProPlus application with their respective user account.
Finally, to secure all data in the cloud, SoftwareONE implemented the highly effective solution from eperi.
“After several years of reluctance to invest in our IT infrastructure, we took a big chance with the new Exchange Online environment and executed a precision landing. One factor for success here was definitely the fact that the entire SoftwareONE team provided us with truly excellent support here. Last, but not least, this also includes an optimally customized solution design with special consideration of our security needs.” Gerald Tengler, Head of IT, Klinikum Fürth.
