Since March 2025, Evolucare has been responsible for distributing AGFA HealthCare’s Enterprise Imaging solution in France. This strategic move has been accompanied by a strengthening of internal expertise to ensure that healthcare organisations receive support commensurate with the challenges they face. As part of this initiative, the arrival of Olivier Hirard further consolidates the roll-out and implementation of the solution across the country.
Practical expertise at the service of Enterprise Imaging
Trained as an applications engineer, Olivier has extensive experience. For nearly fifteen years, he worked on AGFA solutions, developing in-depth knowledge of the product, its architecture and its clinical applications. He subsequently expanded his expertise to other imaging environments, further establishing himself as a link between healthcare facilities and technical teams.
It seemed only natural to revisit Enterprise Imaging today:
« It’s a product I really like and know well. Joining Evolucare in this role was the natural next step in putting my experience to work for healthcare organisations. »
A bridge between practical applications and technology
In this new phase of Enterprise Imaging’s development in France, Olivier plays a central role. He sees himself as a bridge: understanding medical and organisational constraints, translating requirements for the technical teams, and then explaining the product’s capabilities back to them. This balance is essential for ensuring the success of projects and guaranteeing seamless integration within hospital information systems.
The priorities are clear: performance, usability, reliability and interoperability. But for Olivier, the value lies not solely in the technology. Support, guidance and adapting to the realities on the ground make all the difference.
Rigour and precision, at work and elsewhere
The relaunch of Enterprise Imaging in France is part of a positive momentum: structured maintenance, winning back customers and preparing for version upgrades. It is a demanding phase that requires a systematic approach and coordination.
This commitment is also evident in his personal pursuits. Olivier practises medieval re-enactment involving armoured combat, a discipline that demands technical precision and mastery of movement. Having been involved in a sound and light show for fifteen years, he has cultivated a sense of teamwork and coordination. A keen enthusiast of classic cars, he enjoys understanding their mechanics to make them more reliable without altering their original character. As for paramotoring, which he hopes to take up again, it helps him develop anticipation and a command of his surroundings.
A philosophy that is perfectly in tune with Evolucare’s ambition: to consolidate, optimise and provide long-term support to organisations in their use of Enterprise Imaging. The same values: perseverance, rigour and team spirit. An infectious energy, just like Evolucare.
