Held in partnership with Avnet, HDS and Commvault this briefing comes following our research looking into the needs of senior IT decision makers in the healthcare sector and will enable resellers to gain a better understanding of the specialist requirements of their existing or future clients in this area.
The healthcare sector has long been fruitful for many channel firms. But as it faces unprecedented levels of budgetary and legislative constraints, VARs must work harder, and smarter, to win business.Healthcare IT buying chiefs still need to deliver increased functionality through investments in bleeding-edge technology, such as cloud and mobile devices, while maintaining the performance of huge estates of IT infrastructure. Saving money while increasing productivity and service levels for patients are also key requirements for CIOs. And the onus is on their IT providers to help them deliver on these objectives.
Join us on Thursday 24 May to discuss these points and more, while gaining insight from expert speakers including the ICT Director for the University College London Hospitals, NHS Trust - James Thomas, and the Chairman of the Health and Social Care Council for Intellect UK - Jeremy Nettle.

IT departments are being asked to manage increasing data volumes whilst providing improved service levels in the most cost effective way.Customers are therefore looking for innovative ways to maximise the efficiency of their existing information infrastructures, whilst at the same time deploying new technology where cost and value can be justified.
