Recognized success for icomedias at the WPC 2014 in Washington

There are over 600,000 Microsoft partners worldwide. icomedias is one of three award-winning finalists for the Public Sector Health Award 2014.

The recognition took place within the framework of the worldwide Partner Conference in Washington, D.C. About 16,000 partner from 100 countries have met there for a week. New strategies, tools and solutions from Microsoft were presented and discussed. In and between the talks and associated events we were able to network with other international partners. icomedias is CityNext partner in the public sector and therefore there were many interesting contacts with representatives of cities and regions.

Mobile first, cloud first – that’s the strategy of Microsoft, this is the future. With HybridForms, icomedias has developed a mobile forms workflow system, a product designed for that market need. The HybridForms solution for medical ambulance protocols was awarded at the WPC 2014 by Microsoft. Emergency physicians fill out mobile operation protocols on rugged tablets and with a Windows 8 client app, all entered data are constantly recorded on the central SharePoint platform.

Mobility is a current trend and now also a main topic in the public administration. The universal form solution HybridForms by icomedias has many advantages: tablets instead of paper, all data are immediately available on the central server and don’t have to be retyped later. Depending on the application, the server is on-site at the customer’s infrastructure or there are hybrid scenarios. The server can be also entirely in the cloud – with Office 365 and Microsoft Azure.

Christian Ekhart, managing director of icomedias, has presented the mobile forms solution HybridForms at the conference in a talk with the topic “Tablets 2.0 in Health”, including a live demonstration of the software.
