Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise partners with Vitalis in Australia

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has announced a new partnership with Vitalis Solutions to enhance digital transformation in Australia’s healthcare and education sectors.

Vitalis Solutions, a master systems integrator in the region, will combine its local expertise with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s range of innovative solutions, aimed at addressing sector-specific challenges.

Healthcare and education sectors face unique challenges, notably in the integration and efficiency of information systems. John Graham, Managing Director of Vitalis Solutions, noted, "It was integral for our healthcare and education customers to have a solution that operates in large, complex environments. It makes perfect sense to commit to a partnership with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, who are known for providing innovation, security and stability in exactly those challenging operational conditions."

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise provides advanced digital transformation solutions, which are vital for managing the evolving technological demands of healthcare and education. The healthcare sector requires systems capable of secure, fast, and efficient communication at the point of care, while the education sector needs to support rapidly changing technologies, remote learning, and large-scale data management.

Maud Holvast, Country Business Leader for Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise in Australia and New Zealand, stated, "More and more systems, processes, people and objects rely on connectivity and advanced technology, from robotics in remote healthcare facilities to nodes and sensors keeping students safe across large campuses. We are excited and honoured to work with Vitalis Solutions, combining our leading solutions with their technical and business know-how to serve these continually evolving industries."

The partnership aims to leverage local and global expertise to offer dedicated solutions, assist in solving specific challenges, and focus on achieving optimal outcomes. This will be achieved through Vitalis Solutions’ local customer support and understanding of regional regulatory and operational demands. This collaboration is expected to ensure compliant and competitive products and services in the domestic market.

In the healthcare domain, integrating secure and efficient information systems at the point of care remains a critical factor. This integration facilitates timely and informed decision-making, which is crucial in healthcare settings. For the education sector, adapting to new technologies and supporting remote learning while maintaining data security across campuses has become a significant challenge. The new partnership intends to address these issues by providing comprehensive and tailored ICT solutions.

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise underscores the importance of a secure and reliable network and communication infrastructure in these sectors, recognising the growing complexity and interdependence of systems, processes, and stakeholders. The integration of advanced technologies like robotics and sensors underlines the need for a robust digital foundation, something the partnership aims to deliver.

The collaboration with Vitalis Solutions not only brings added value in terms of local support and personalised assistance but also aligns with the broader mission to drive transformative digital solutions in essential public sectors. By combining global innovation with local expertise, the partnership seeks to improve operational efficiencies and outcomes in healthcare and education throughout Australia.

Both Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise and Vitalis Solutions have expressed optimism about the potential of their joint efforts to meet and exceed the needs of their customers in the healthcare and education sectors.
