Wicks brings a wealth of healthcare IT experience to Sentillion having spent over 20 years working for ICL (now Fujitsu Services), where he was responsible for implementing and supporting the IRC Patient Administration System across the UK in addition to developing and managing a helpdesk for all of ICL’s healthcare products.
Since leaving ICL, Wicks has held key sales positions with a number of value added resellers, focusing primarily on identity and access management solutions within the public sector market across the UK.
Sentillion’s IAM solutions are already deployed at several Trusts across the UK including the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust (GOSH) and Portsmouth Hospitals’ NHS Trust. With Wicks’ appointment, Sentillion is looking to further increase its footprint with NHS Trusts and cater to the market demand for IAM solutions.
Access solutions for NHS Trusts
“I’m delighted to be joining Sentillion as it’s the only vendor able to deliver both single-sign on and context management solutions,” suggested Wicks, “enabling NHS Trusts to fully address their identity and access management concerns.”
In conversation with SMT Online, Wicks added: “There’s increasing pressure on the NHS to guarantee the security of patient records, at the same time providing access to the right people quickly and effectively. Sentillion can help NHS Trust security managers with this dilemma.”
Sentillion offers a complete solution for the healthcare sector and, last year, created a specialist channel programme to help resellers gain the skills and support that they need to capitalise on the benefits that single sign-on and context management will offer this market. Sentillion currently has a number of key UK partners including iSoft (a specialist in the healthcare sector), Visionware (the data management solutions deviser) and IT service provider E.Novations.
“We’re excited that Colin has decided to join us,” commented John Gobron, general manager of Sentillion’s UK operations. “He has extensive experience working with NHS customers, and his work with the National Programme for IT means that he has a great understanding of the identity and access management issues facing many hospitals. This will be of huge benefit to both Sentillion and its client base.”
