Introducing Open Architecture Systems
Open Architecture Systems is a specialist in Application Delivery, with 30+ Years of
experience, 17 of which have been in the Healthcare Industry.
Over the years, the ecosystem to deliver applications has increased in complexity and
diversity. On top of this IT Systems are constantly changing, Business needs are changing,
Users are more mobile and the “One-Size Fits All” mentality is long gone.
Businesses are required to deliver all their applications to internal and external users, over
any number of different networks, to any number of different devices whilst being fast,
reliable and secure.
OAS Consulting Services has a tried and tested methodology of overcoming many of these
challenges.

IT Challenges for Healthcare
01
Change &
Modernisation
Companies are navigating constant
change
The nature of business is changing rapidly as
companies embrace constant transformation,
digital models and hybrid work. In addition, they
are navigating growing risks and threats that could
harm their ability to operate continuously.

IT Challenges for Healthcare
IT needs to deliver a
consistent work
experience - or a unified
experience across on-premises,
cloud and hybrid environments,
from any location, on any device.
04
Work Experience
Success will go to those healthcare organizations
that can deliver a consistent and unified, secure
and simplified work experience across every work
channel, on any device and from any location.
Implementing a digital platform based on a digital
workspace platform - will get you there.
Providing the right application to the user without
disruption increases productivity.
Providing the same service during a disaster,
weather or pandemic disruption will enable hybrid
work models that again increases productivity.

IT Challenges for Healthcare
Cybersecurity Landscape
Provide zero trust access to applications
and data, even if the application is internal,
a SaaS application or hosted in a 3rd Party
Cloud environment.

Application
Types
Application Life Cycle -
Applications change over time with new
functionality, methods of presentation
and integrations. Application sprawl is
also the new normal, not only for each
department but also from different
service providers and data centres.

Application Delivery Complexity
Connectivity is key
Access to any application that is
delivered from a central location is
dependent on reliable networks. SD-
Wan technologies allow for seamless
redundancy on corporate links,
however many remote users rely on
Internet service providers for LTE, 3G
5G and Fibre.
03
Many
NetWorks

Application Delivery Complexity
So many devices!
As Hybrid work takes hold, and more
Users work from home, so the number
of devices increase.
Managing the device is an IT Headache,
however delivering an Application to
each device is another challenge.
