Why IGEL + Omnissa Might Be the Most Important Partnership in Healthcare IT Right Now

When it comes to healthcare IT, the demands are high—and the margins for error are low.

Clinicians need fast, secure access to data. Patients need confidence that their records are protected. And overstretched NHS and Trust IT teams need infrastructure that won’t fall over the moment a policy changes, a team member leaves, or an endpoint goes missing.

That’s why the new partnership between IGEL and Omnissa deserves attention.

Why This Matters Now

We’re at a moment where healthcare IT complexity is at an all-time high:

• Devices everywhere, in and out of Trusts
• A growing mix of remote, hybrid, and mobile users
• Ever-tightening data protection and governance standards
• And growing pressure to modernise, consolidate, and stay agile

That’s a lot of plates to spin—especially for teams already managing legacy infrastructure, vendor sprawl, and resourcing gaps.

This is where IGEL + Omnissa comes in.

What’s Actually New?

The short version? IGEL’s secure, lightweight endpoint OS now works hand-in-hand with Omnissa’s powerful digital workspace platform (formerly VMware EUC).

Together, they give NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations the tools to:

🔐 Secure endpoints and sessions at the edge of your network—whether that’s a clinician’s laptop, a kiosk on a ward, or a device in community care.

🧠 Centrally manage and automate user access, policy enforcement, and workspace delivery from one pane of glass.

⚡ Keep clinical workflows seamless—fast logins, context-aware access, and consistent performance across devices.

📉 Cut IT overhead—less endpoint maintenance, fewer support calls, and a thinner infrastructure footprint.

IGEL handles the endpoint. Omnissa handles the workspace. Together, they simplify what’s become painfully complex.

For Healthcare, It’s a Perfect Fit

This partnership was built with clinical environments in mind:

• Temporary or shared endpoints (e.g. on wards, in labs, or training rooms)
• High staff turnover and shift-based access
• Role-based access needs (nurses, consultants, admin staff)
• Strict compliance and audit requirements

The combination gives IT teams confidence that access is secure, user sessions are protected, and sensitive data isn’t walking out the door—without compromising usability for frontline staff.

Why Trusts Should Be Watching This

With IGEL and Omnissa working together, healthcare IT teams finally get a platform that’s:

• Lightweight but secure
• Centralised but flexible
• Built for scale but easy to manage
• Designed to support the realities of patient care

In a sector where downtime can cost lives—not just productivity—this kind of partnership isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s essential.  And it’s only just getting started.

At R-COM Consulting, we work with NHS Trusts and healthcare providers across the UK to implement modern, secure infrastructure—without the disruption.
