Framfab starts new business area in healthcare

Framfab starts new business area in healthcare Framfab is starting a new business area in the field of healthcare, by gathering together the competence within the company and linking up with specialists in the field. "The healthcare sector is facing tremendous challenges. The network economy is drastically changing the game rules, partly in the form of new and increased competition and altered business models, and partly through an increase in consumer influence. We will in future see a new type of healthcare, where the patient, the healthcare provider and suppliers such as pharmaceuticals companies will work together in a completely new way," says Carl Ola Engelmarc, acting business manager for the venture at Framfab. "We will offer an total solution, with everything from advanced business development and operations development to services of a more technical and communications nature, such as applications development and production of interfaces," says Kaj Jonsson, local manager of the cell in Gothenburg that will comprise the core of the venture. The cell currently has just under 30 employees, but expects to expand to around 50 employees by the end of the year. Framfab intends to make a considerable investment in increasing understanding in healthcare. This will include holding a seminar, together with Docco, in Gothenburg on 28 September to illustrate trends and forecasts in the field. Workshops, seminars and other activities will also be offered within the Client Community being started for the healthcare sector. Today Framfab has a unique know-how with regard to introducing strategic total solutions to bring companies and entire industries into the network economy, with all that this entails in creating relationships, building up brand names and generating new and more cost-effective activities. An in-depth, broad knowledge of the healthcare field will enable Framfab to offer global solutions that are locally adapted for both business to consumer services and business to business services.
