Humana chooses Google Workspace across the Nordic
region
STOCKHOLM, May 23, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Humana Group, one of the Nordic region's largest
care companies, and Google Cloud today announced they are joining
forces to increase IT security in the healthcare space, improving
control over data management and simplifying collaboration for
Humana employees in its Nordic organization.
Humana chooses Google Workspace across the
Nordic region to improve IT Security in Care
To help improve collaboration across documents, create more
secure data management, and provide easy access to key systems from
anywhere, Humana will transition to Google Workspace. Google
Workspace provides one-click access to collaboration tools such as
Gmail, Google Calendar, Docs, Drive, Chat, Meet, and more, and is
relied on by more than three billion users and more than 10 million
customers. Tools like Drive and Docs will make it easy for staff to
safely share and edit files in real time, and Gmail will provide a
more secure and reliable email service for the care provider.
"IT security and resilience are of the utmost importance to us.
Our employees handle sensitive data, and because they often do not
work with computers, it must be easy for them to do the most secure
and right thing. Google Workspace is secure and intuitive, and our
choice was easy knowing that Google and Gmail haven't had the major
security issues that plagued other email providers in recent
years," says Adam Nerell, CIO,
Humana.
Management, back office, and care workers will all move to use
Google Cloud's platforms and tools. Each care unit, such as elderly
care units and treatment homes for the young and adults, will have
access to Google Workspace. In addition, employees can design their
own routines and rules, and collaborate in a simple and efficient
way.
Moving to Google Workspace also supports Humana's commitment to
putting people at the heart of its digital transformation,
leveraging technology to support employees better. Another
advantage is that many of the older computers will be given new
life by being refurbished and equipped with Chrome, adding an
additional layer of security.
"We are pleased that Humana has chosen Google Workspace for its
secure collaboration needs. Through our work together, we can
contribute to making healthcare across the Nordics more secure and
efficient," says Eva Fors, Managing
Director, Google Cloud, Nordic Region. "With the help of Google
Cloud's technology, all Humana employees will be able to connect
and collaborate, bringing the organisation closer together and
giving time back to employees so they can focus on patients."
"We already see our employees asking questions, and together we
are putting a lot of effort into facilitating the onboarding –
supporting change and adoption to ensure the best possible
transition and experience for our colleagues. We've already
received great feedback across our pilot programme," says
Nerell.
The roll-out is taking place throughout April and May in
Sweden, Norway, and Finland.
