Evolve IP’s platform flexibility has enabled partner Ascom to widen its portfolio of healthcare solutions.
Ascom primarily specialises in the health sector, particularly in the areas of acute and long-term healthcare, as well as enterprise. It provides real-time communications and collaboration to optimise workflow for healthcare specialists.
The duo initially partnered in the hospitality sector, before realising that their services could help digitise and modernise communications in the healthcare industry.
Oliver Newby, Partner Manager at Evolve IP, told UC Today that its relationship with Ascom has enabled partners to secure deals they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to secure.
“I've had a number of partners come to me because they were going to lose deals and other providers couldn't help them,” he said.
“We've fortunately been able to win them that business because of our relationship with Ascom and this ability to offer support in many different areas, including healthcare. For example, one of our partners won a deal based on Ascom’s Nurse Call platform”
Ascom has built its solutions on Evolve IP’s platform, which offers voice over Wi-Fi for devices, as well as full-depth solutions. The solutions Ascom offers tackle some of the core challenges the healthcare industry faces in its digital transformation journey.
James Wright, Head of Channel at Ascom, said that digitalisation within the NHS is always a “hot topic”. It has recently won a seven-year contract with NHS Wales for the end-to-end implementation of Ascom’s Digistat clinical information system (CIS).
“The solution will enable intensive care staff across Wales’ 14 standard adult critical care units to manage electronically many aspects of care,” he explained.
“Previously, just three of Wales’ units used electronic systems from other suppliers, while the remainder used paper records. The new system will transform care digitally and give staff a single source of truth for patient information.”
