PARIS – Evidian, the European identity and access management leader, and MAIDIS, a publisher of electronic medical record management software in France and the United Arab Emirates, announce that Evidian Enterprise SSO will be packaged into the MAIDIS integrated offer for clinics and hospitals.

With Evidian’s solution, healthcare and administration personnel will access MAIDIS solutions, as well as all hospital applications, with just one authentication method: password, biometrics, smart card or proximity card. As a result, they will immediately consult their patients’ medical records without having to remember any application passwords.

As a result of this partnership, Enterprise SSO will be deployed in all the military hospitals in the UAE, in 50 locations over 3 years. MAIDIS will deliver the entire turn-key hospital IT, and the Evidian solution will provide simple and secure access to it.

“We share with MAIDIS the same ambition and success in the medical sector: to optimize the time of health personnel so that they can focus on their patients, thus contributing to healthcare quality” said Hassan Maad, Evidian COO. “We are happy to assist MAIDIS in the international development of their global IT solution for hospitals.”

MAIDIS performed an in-depth analysis of the single sign-on market. Evidian stood out with its ability to integrate a large range of application technologies. In addition, Enterprise SSO handles the specifics of hospital life, such as roaming access or healthcare personnel smart card access.

“Our partnership strategy is to choose the best solutions for the healthcare sector” said Wagdy Zahran, MAIDIS international CEO. “With its expertise of medical environments and its international presence, Evidian provides us with its technological know-how regarding identity and access management”.

Evidian’s Enterprise SSO software fits the special requirements of hospitals: smart-card login, roaming sessions, grace period, kiosk mode or medical computer carts. Tens of hospitals and clinics around the world have selected Evidian to reinforce patient confidentiality, improve personnel IT access and reduce associated costs.
