On the occasion of JFR, Softway Medical Group announces a major partnership between IMDEV, the leading medical imaging group in France founded by radiologists, and Softway Medical Imaging..
« We are pleased to announce our partnership with Softway Medical Imaging. Our energetic growth confronts us with many challenges: Hosting and sharing an ever-growing volume of images on a national network in rapid expansion.Providing physicians with modern and high-performance interpretation tools to optimise their time while facilitating mobility.We were looking for a robust, scalable, and secure Cloud PACS solution to support us in this period of rapid growth. We particularly appreciated the motivation and flexibility of the Softway Medical Imaging teams, who were very attentive and with whom we co-developed a tailor-made Synapse Cloud IMDEV solution, leveraging Softway Medical Group’s expertise in hosting and VNA/PACS Synapse solutions.»
Dr Frédérik BREITTMAYER Président of IMDEV
A High-Value PACS/VNA Solution
Each year, IMDEV acquires new facilities across mainland France and the DROM-COM regions. This results in exponential data volumes at the group level, as well as a heterogeneous mix of software and hosting solutions, complicating information sharing, maintenance, and improving patient care.
The project, developed in collaboration with the Softway Medical Imaging teams, is built on two pillars. First, the deployment of a leading software – Fujifilm’s Synapse PACS – coupled with its agnostic VNA, which will receive and distribute images and reports across the group, retaining them in their native format. Second, the implementation of a dedicated hosting infrastructure that each new facility can easily connect to.
The operational benefits for IMDEV are numerous:
- Standardising software solutions to the highest market standards, aligning its current and future facilities.
- Dedicated, scalable hosting managed by Softway Medical Group teams for greater flexibility and responsiveness..
The first deployments of the solution will begin in the last quarter of 2024.
