Innofactor to offer ChipSoft’s healthcare ICT solutions in the Nordic countries

Innofactor and ChipSoft have made a decision to start a partnership on developing ICT solutions based on Microsoft technology with the support of Microsoft services for the healthcare sector in the Nordic countries. The first step of the cooperation is to take part in the tendering process con-cerning the planned regional Electronic Health Record (EHR) system in greater Helsinki area.

Core to the offering will be ChipSoft’s comprehensive and flexible IT solution for healthcare organ-izations with a high degree of configurability and overall user friendliness. Today the Netherlands-based ChipSoft is the leading European provider of healthcare systems with more than 85 healthcare organizations in Europe utilizing their solutions.

“With this cooperation and our innovative and strong solutions we are able to bring the healthcare IT in the Nordic countries to a higher level”, says the founder and CEO of ChipSoft Hans Mulder.

“Our go-live of the ChipSoft system was very successful. The ChipSoft solution provides us with a strong technical and functional foundation for the future”, says University Medical Center Utrecht, a client of ChipSoft.

Innofactor will operate as the local system integrator with overall responsibility for the services and solutions. “IT solutions for healthcare organizations have been in the strategic focus of Innofactor from the very beginning, and we have delivered several solutions for a variety of organ-izations. This liaison and the foreseeable changes in the EHR systems in the Nordic countries dur-ing the next few years are offering us a possibility to become a significant solutions provider in this sector. Equally this supports our strategy for expanding our operations in Scandinavia”, says Sami Ensio, the founder and CEO of Innofactor.

ChipSoft’s healthcare solutions are based on Microsoft technology and Innofactor is the largest Microsoft-focused IT services provider in Finland. “I’m pleased to see successful Microsoft public sector partners joining their expertise to create new solutions for the growing European healthcare IT market. Our technology ensures a strong platform for future solutions, and we are happy to support the cooperation,” says Niels Soelberg, Vice President of Microsoft EMEA Public Sector.
