Below, you’ll find the story of Medux, a leading provider of healthcare aids, which transitioned to a structured, secure digital workplace with the help of QS solutions.
Facilitate mobility
Medux plays a crucial role in the Dutch healthcare sector as a supplier of medical aids. Its dedicated team ensures that individuals requiring aids are assisted quickly and effectively. Whether it’s a wheelchair, adjustable bed, or other equipment, Medux is committed to providing the right solution.
The challenge: From chaos to structure
Previously, Medux relied on various tools like Google Drive and Outlook, which led to significant data fragmentation and inefficient collaboration. “We noticed a tremendous sprawl of files and shared drives,” says Suzanne, application manager at Medux. Employees struggled to locate information, resulting in frustration and reduced productivity. Furthermore, there was no clear governance defining who had access to which files, both internally and externally. The organization urgently needed a solution to better manage and control its data.
Choosing QS Solutions and PortalTalk
During its search for a better IT solution, Medux discovered QS solutions. A demo quickly revealed that the solution aligned well with Medux’s needs: “It met our functional requirements and allowed us to ensure both security and ease of use,” says Renske, project manager at Medux. While exploring alternatives, Medux consistently returned to PortalTalk due to its comprehensive features.
A Thoughtful Approach
Medux began by implementing SharePoint and an intranet solution, followed by PortalTalk to ensure governance. “We held sessions to establish policies, such as securely sharing information and assigning access,” Suzanne explains. PortalTalk enabled Medux to maintain control over shared documents and team sites while making it easier for employees to access information and collaborate efficiently.
One major benefit was the ability to automate access controls, which improved the management of information shared with external parties. “With access reviews, users can see who has access to their files and manage it easily,” Suzanne adds.
Governance as a Foundation
A critical part of the project was the governance sessions, during which QS solutions worked with Medux to develop policies for the new digital workplace. “These sessions were essential,” Renske notes. “We didn’t just get technical solutions but also clear guidelines on how to implement the new practices effectively.”
From Email to Teams
Shifting to the new way of working required some adjustment from employees. “People were used to doing everything via email,” explains Jort from the communications department. “Transitioning to Teams as the primary communication tool was a cultural shift. But we’re seeing growing adoption of PortalTalk, and employees are recognizing its benefits.”
Prioritizing Security
Security was a top priority during the implementation. “As a supplier of medical aids, we handle sensitive information,” emphasizes Suzanne. “The new system gives us much better control over who has access to which information. With the planned implementation of Purview, we’ll be able to refine this even further.”
Satisfaction and Recommendation
The collaboration with QS solutions was highly positive. “The QS solutions team was instrumental in helping us establish clear governance and implement the right processes,” Renske says. The consultants’ flexibility and commitment ensured that Medux could roll out the solutions effectively, although some optimizations were needed after going live.
For organizations considering working with QS solutions, Suzanne has a clear message: “QS solutions helped us bring structure to our IT processes and ways of working. They provided not just technical solutions but also a vision for how we could improve our organization’s functioning.”
