Sundhed.dk is an online portal that collects healthcareinformation from 85 different sources and enables both healtcare professionals and general public to access it.

Costly solution made cheaper by NNIT
Launched in 2003, Sundhed.dk is accessible 24/7 via a secure log in, and it gives users up-to-date medical information, ranging from
general health advice to patient-specific treatment records. But after five years of service, the portal was proving costly to
maintain and adding new features was extremely difficult.

Costs cut with 80%
Sundhed.dk asked NNIT to create a new portal that was cheaper to run and easier to update. The resulting portal now saves Sundhed.dk approximately 80 percent in running costs each month.
Completed in early 2009, the new Sundhed.dk portal is proving extremely successful. “We really get a lot of praise from users about the response time,” says Lars Carstensen. “It takes just 0.2 seconds after you click to when you view a page. And the architecture allows us to increase the number of servers whenever we need to scale up our service. Also, the portal is much more stable now. From 1 April to 1 December, we had just ten minutes of downtime – and that was caused by the temporary failure of the external internet connection.”
