Sectra, a global healthcare IT leader, informed on March 15, 2023, that it has renewed its contract with Dutch hospital Zuyderland for another ten years.
Sectra One Cloud, a cloud-based version of its enterprise imaging product, is included in the arrangement, offering Zuyderland a scalable, secure, and professionally managed service. With Sectra managing the infrastructure, healthcare practitioners can focus on delivering exceptional patient care.
Ralph Berendsen, Medical Physicist at Zuyderland Medical Center, stated, "Our current infrastructure needs to be replaced, giving us the perfect opportunity to move over to Sectra's cloud solution."
He added, "We've been a happy customer of Sectra for many years, so letting them take full responsibility for our IT operations was an easy choice. Moving to the cloud will reduce our IT burden, giving us the time to focus on our users."

The radiology, nuclear medicine, and orthopedic departments of Zuyderland Medical Center are in Sittard-Geleen and Heerlen. The company, which has been using Sectra's solution since 2017, will be the first Dutch company to adopt Sectra One Cloud, developed in Microsoft Azure.
Peter Osinga, Managing Director, Sectra Benelux and DACH, remarked, "Many healthcare providers are currently facing challenges when it comes to high workloads and a lack of resources. In addition, secure communication and sharing of sensitive data has never been more important. As a result, we are seeing increasing interest in cloud services."
He added, "I'm happy that Zuyderland remains satisfied with us as their technology provider, and I am proud of being trusted to manage their IT infrastructure."
