What you can count on at HMS

The costs scale with the workload – regardless of the size and complexity of your data. This eliminates the problem of over- or undersized IT architecture. And there is no need to spend money on software updates. For the most part, data management and preparation are already handled by the platform.

Flexible and transparent

All authorised employees have access to the latest charts, dashboards and evaluations at all times. This is made possible by portals such as Microsoft SharePoint, Office 365 or PowerBI. As a result, the valuable findings are also available to all authorised personnel on the move. Whether via smartphone or tablet – everyone can access the latest analyses everywhere.

Secure and easy to integrate

The standardised security architecture of Microsoft Azure Analytics is subject to the highest requirements for the protection of your data. Microsoft is the only cloud provider that has been EU-certified for compliance with data protection guidelines and offers the German cloud – with a German data trustee who operates under German law.

Hybrid solutions

We can advise you on the design and implementation of hybrid solutions to ensure a seamless exchange of all relevant data and smooth integration into your existing systems. For a seamless exchange of all relevant data and smooth integration into your existing systems. Pre-engineered solutions and interfaces enable fast and integrated deployment. Whether “cloud-only” or “hybrid”, we will work with you to plan the right architecture.

On-premises

Historical reasons and security considerations are the main reasons why some companies prefer an on-premises solution. Naturally, HMS also offers tailor-made business analytics for local operations. In the age of more stringent data protection certifications, however, the trend is towards cloud solutions or hybrid models. The reason for this is significantly greater agility, demand-oriented use and associated cost savings.
