Supporting delivery of the National Programme
A new Software Agreement for the NHS – including new products, new services, new benefits
Like every Trust operating within today’s NHS, you’ll be familiar not only with the IT challenges that face any distributed organisation, but also with some of the unique challenges posed by the NHS environment:
- Keeping your desktop software constantly up-to-date to ensure continuous and reliable access to critical clinical systems.
- Managing multiple operating systems and directories plus central and local applications – often distributed across many hospitals and sites.
- Safeguarding the security and stability of the NHS IT environment by ensuring all measures designed to combat viruses or hackers are kept current, thereby ensuring compliance – right across the Trust.
Recognising these challenges, the NHS and Novell have negotiated an agreement that not only delivers an electronic software distribution solution tailored to the needs of the NHS, but also provides access to Novell's Resource Management technology (Novell ZENworks®) which will manage the entire lifecycle of your IT assets, from desktops and laptops to servers and hand-held devices.
