We are delighted to have taken the next successful step in the digitalization of the healthcare sector."

Johannes Kelle

Consultant for strategic online marketingAOK Sachsen-Anhalt

"HBSN supported us actively and professionally in the "GESUNDESKONTO" project with the conception, development and project coordination. HBSN's agile approach enabled us to launch the application on time and within a very short development time. HBSN was an ideal partner for the extensive integration services into our existing system because it has the necessary experience and knowledge of the processes, the system and the operation of oscare®. That is why it is now also providing maintenance and support for the "GESUNDESKONTO". It is particularly helpful for us that we have access to everything from a single source, from consulting and design to software development, maintenance and support. The consultants impress with their structured and systematic approach, their expertise and their experience and prudence."
