The Hospital del Mar<\/strong> is a hospital in Barcelona<\/strong> (Spain) with more than 4,000 employees<\/strong> that is part of the group Parc de Salut Mar. This organisation is located on the Barcelona coast and brings together one of the city\u2019s most dynamic health education, knowledge and research centers.

At the end of 2019, they started looking for a secure solution to replace their current remote access setup<\/strong>, and they found Awingu!<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Punctual remote access and the impact of the pandemic<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

In 2019, Hospital del Mar used several solutions to be able to give remote access to virtual applications and desktops to a specific group of employees in an exceptional way. They needed a tool that would make this external access more secure, since the current solution did not respond to all of their needs.<\/span><\/p>

After doing market research, they concluded that Awingu was the solution that suited their needs the best, due to its simplicity and affordable price. Thanks to Awingu, the hospital was able to ensure remote access to a group of 50 users in a very simple way and without high costs.<\/span><\/p>

With the arrival of the pandemic in March 2020, the need for remote access grew exponentially and the volume of users increased to 400. Hospital del Mar managed to do it in approximately one week, since the implementation and \u2018roll-out\u2019 were very simple.<\/span><\/p>

With Awingu, Hospital del Mar could fulfill its main objective: to have a portal where professionals could connect and have access to all the necessary information and resources in an easy and secure way.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

Simple solution for both users and administrators<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Prior to the implementation of the Awingu solution, the Hospital\u2019s professionals did not often work remotely, but rather on a very occasional basis. However, due to the pandemic, everything changed and for the hospital it was essential to adapt to this new reality allowing this safe and easy access.<\/span><\/p>

The SSII department highly appreciates several of the many security capabilities that our product offers. One of the features that they are using the most today is two-factor authentication (MFA). Regarding this, Albert M\u00e1rquez Colom\u00e9 (SSII and Communications Director at Hospital del Mar) commented that: \u201cWe trust Awingu; It is a solution that gives us security.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Not only the IT team is happy with the tool, but also the users. As Albert explains to us:<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>
