Health providers are increasingly embracing cloud technology as they search for a more cost-effective, scalable and secure way to store, access and use their vast amounts of medical imaging data. With the benefits of fully managed SaaS, the IT burden on your organization is relieved. Resources can focus on optimizing workflows, rather than on maintenance of IT infrastructure. Sectra’s enterprise imaging portfolio utilizing cloud infrastructure can lower TCO and improve your financial, clinical and operational outcomes by leveraging the scale of the cloud. With a focus on high uptime, performance and security, our solutions can easily scale as your needs change over time. It also removes large up-front investments with a subscription plan and pay-per-usage.
A whole layer of additional management and complication removed, that doesn’t need to involve our busy IT team, which doesn’t specialize in PACS.
Sectra One is a subscription-based model for our enterprise imaging offering. With Sectra One Cloud Services, you choose a subscription plan and SLA level suitable for your organization to benefit from a fully managed SaaS.

When moving your healthcare IT system to a cloud-based environment, there are many cloud models to choose from. In this article, we explain the difference between the models, their pros and cons, and give you some guidance on how to maximize the benefits of using the cloud.
Strong security is an integral part of Sectra’s cloud services. As a medical IT company with roots in defense-level cybersecurity, our people, technology, tools, processes and policies protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of products, services and customer data.
A cloud service is only as safe as its weakest link. Sectra’s multi-layered security strategy takes both a holistic and deep approach on cloud security and safeguarding customer and patient data. The security measures are reinforced by an in-house team of dedicated cloud specialists, working 24/7/365, monitoring and standby ready to act when needed.
Sectra is ISO27001 (information security) and ISO27017/18 (cloud security) certified, as well as HIPAA and GDPR compliant, which permeates all our cloud operations.
Evaluating a cloud service versus an on-premise installation should include various analyses. One perspective is the operational and IT strategy, another is the financial — and an evaluation between the two models should focus on TCO and value-added benefits. We have put together a step-by-step guide to support you in making a successful evaluation.
Artificial intelligence is gaining momentum by the day. It has tremendous potential to help medical imaging professionals accomplish more by augmenting workflows, reviews and reporting. AI and cloud computing make a perfect match to drive innovation. Regardless if you develop your own algorithms or use ready-to-go AI/ML applications, cloud resources are available on an as-needed basis.
When developing AI, you rely on making large volumes of data accessible — something that scalable cloud storage can enable. And when running algorithms, you often need vast computing power (GPU and CPU) temporarily, which the cloud can offer. With its pay-for-usage model, the cloud removes the need for large CAPEX investments in computing resources you only need temporarily.
