Avit extends successful collaboration with Zorggroep Oude en Nieuwe Land by 5 years

Avit and Zorggroep Oude en Nieuwe Land (ZONL) are extending their successful collaboration. After five years of intensive support in the field of Network as a Service (NaaS), the contract has been extended by another five years. This marks an important step in the further digital transformation within the healthcare sector and underlines the mutual trust between both parties.

Reliable ICT infrastructure since 2019

ZONL, the largest provider in the field of treatment and rehabilitation, care at home, and living with care in the municipalities of Steenwijkerland, Noordoostpolder and Urk, has been an Avit customer since 2019. In recent years, Avit has provided a stable and secure ICT infrastructure as a network manager, so that healthcare workers are optimally supported in their work.

The extension of the contract means that Avit will continue to provide a fully managed network solution. The complete 24/7 service provision, including SD-WAN, LAN and WLAN, is provided based on Cisco technology and is fully managed by Avit. Continuity and ensuring compliance are central to this.

Innovation and flexibility in healthcare 

Various developments and challenges are taking place in the healthcare sector, such as digitalisation, home automation and the unburdening of healthcare personnel. Avit responds proactively to this with its specialised healthcare team. Thanks to short lines of communication, ZONL always remains up-to-date with the latest technological developments. 

In recent years, Avit has proven its flexibility by seamlessly connecting new locations to the network and managing them efficiently. The predictable monthly costs and the high degree of stability – with zero incidents in some months – make this service indispensable for ZONL. 

Future expansions and optimisations 

In the coming years, Avit will continue to focus on optimising the ICT environment at ZONL. For example, ZONL will expand with new locations in the near future, with Avit playing a key role in the integration of the ICT infrastructure. 

A strong position in the healthcare sector 

The extension of the collaboration not only underlines ZONL's confidence in Avit, but also Avit's growing position within the healthcare sector. By combining high-quality technology with a strategic partnership with Cisco, Avit is strengthening its name within the healthcare market, both in the cure and care sector. 

"We are proud of this extension and look forward to continuing to support ZONL in their digital transformation over the next five years," says Rolf Loorbach, Business Development Manager at Avit.

Arno Koopmans, Manager ICT & Information Management at Zorggroep Oude en Nieuwe Land adds: “Over the past five years, Avit has proven itself as a reliable and proactive ICT partner. Healthcare is digitizing rapidly and this means that we benefit from a stable infrastructure. This allows us as an IT organization to focus on supporting our healthcare colleagues, which significantly improves the quality of care for our clients. We look forward to continuing this successful collaboration.”
