NetSfere, Deutsche Telekom Provide St Augustinus Group Mobile Messaging Platform

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 18 -- NetSfere, a global provider of next-generation secure and compliant messaging and mobility solutions, has announced partnership with Deutsche Telekom, one of the world’s leading integrated telecommunications companies, to deploy NetSfere’s secure mobile messaging platform at all St Augustinus hospitals, a leading German healthcare group.

Quick, instantaneous communication tools offer undisputed benefits to streamline staff communication, however, St Augustinus noticed an alarming increase in the use of personal devices and popular messaging apps like WhatsApp, which pose critical privacy and compliance risks.

In response, NetSfere and Deutsche Telekom partnered to implement NetSfere’s HIPAA and GDPR compliant messaging platform that offers similar functionality to apps like WhatsApp but provides the highest level of end-to-end encryption through Deutsche Telekom’s highly secure data centre.

"NetSfere is designed to meet security and compliance requirements in regulated verticals including healthcare," says Franz Obermayer, NetSfere's Vice President Europe in a statement.

"Medical professionals do high-pressure, life-changing work, which demands a communication platform that enables them to do so more effectively.

“Our partnership with the St. Augustinus Group provides secure, compliant, and flexible messaging options that eliminate the need for staff members to turn to risky messaging apps.”

Meanwhile, Telekom Deutschland GmbH, Managing Director Business Customers, Hagen Rickmann said: "In the sensitive medical environment, it must be possible to communicate quickly and securely. NetSfere is the specialist for instant messages in companies. Telekom brings its expertise in security, consulting, and service.”

St Augustinus Group Managing Director, Rainer Pappert said: "With the introduction of NetSfere, we followed the wishes of our employees: They want to use their personal devices. And they want to do so with an easy-to-use messaging app.”
