AZ Lokeren opts for Prodata Systems and Awingu for their remote working solution

AZ Lokeren (Lokeren General Hospital) was looking for a simple, cost-effective and highly secure solution to let their doctors, medical and administrative staff work remotely. ‘When we heard what they were looking for,’ says Joeri Tranchet (Prodata Systems), ‘it immediately became clear to us: Awingu is the perfect solution for this scenario!’

‘I think every hospital faces the same challenges as we do, and Awingu has proven to be very simple to use and manage tool to tackle the question of remote working at the AZ,’ says Annelore Van Eeghem, IT Manager. ‘Furthermore,’ says Denis Roels (Data Protection Officer), ‘working with Awingu was a major improvement when it came to data security’.
