Public healthcare IT infrastructure and data hosting in France
Okantis is a public-interest consortium delivering IT system transformation for French healthcare providers — hospitals, nursing homes, and social-care facilities across mainland France and overseas territories. The tech stack (Oracle, PostgreSQL, Active Directory, SAML/OpenID) reflects a mature healthcare infrastructure operation, while active projects around monitoring (Nagios/Centreon), SSO deployment, and security policy refactoring suggest incremental modernization of legacy systems. Hiring remains concentrated in support and HR roles, with internal challenges around organizational change and workforce climate flagged as active priorities.
