Healthcare technology reimagined
Softcat implements and manages Digital Employee Experience (DEX) solutions by combining our services with Riverbed's Aternity platform.
Our services enable you to embrace data-driven approaches and shift from reactive to proactive and predictive digital experience management, with a focus on turning the data into real organisational change.
This delivers enhanced experiences and happier users, fewer tickets, better workspace performance and increased productivity for your clinicians and back office staff.
How does it work?
By deploying a monitoring agent to every device in your organisation, we pull device performance data to create easily understandable and customisable dashboards. Our DEX analysts use this data to make actionable technology improvement and change recommendations to your organisation.

"Over a 5-year period we will save around £2.5m to £3m in terms of total IT costs. This is fantastic as the funds can be spent on other vital improvements for patient care."
Jeffrey Wood, Deputy Director of ICT,
The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust
- Fully managed service
Customers receive full onboarding with bespoke dashboards created by our DEX analysts, as well as access to a library of pre-existing dashboards. Our analysts will proactively interrogate your data and provide recommendations to enhance the digital experience of your clinicians and back-office staff in areas such as organisation benchmarking, end user productivity, device health, software usage and much more.
- Delivering cost savings:
We analyse the data on all your devices and focus on identifying cost-saving opportunity recommendations such as: reducing downtime, identifying device performance issues, re-harvesting software, lowering mean time to resolution, reducing service tickets, repairing rather than replacing devices, and limiting spend on assets to truly what is required.
- Device support:
The service covers all end-user devices important to your staff's day-to-day experience, including laptops, desktops, cart on wheels, mobile devices, and virtual machines.
