Maxdata Software is a privately owned Portuguese SME. Maxdata develops healthcare software solutions (Clinidata® software) for more than 30 years, having a strong presence in the biggest Portuguese hospitals (Maxdata software is used in 85% of Portuguese public hospitals) in different areas and laboratories, namely, electronic requisition, clinical pathology, anatomic pathology, immunohematology (blood banking and transfusion), epidemiologic surveillance (Healthcare Associated Infections) and responsibility terms management. Clinidata® software is also present in a significant amount of laboratories across 3 continents, including reference laboratories integrated in international groups.

Maxdata has been a market leader since its inception, which is due mainly to the excellence of its products and services, both cyclically improved through continuous innovation. This innovation is made possible by the know-how the company has accumulated, and by the diverse background of its collaborators, almost all having university degrees at different levels: bachelor’s, master’s and PhD.

The focus on internationalization has intensified in recent years and is one of its most important strategic objectives. For this reason, Maxdata is currently re-engineering its products, adapting them to modern computing paradigms such as cloud computing and to many features that have been emerging in the new era of Web 2.0. The goal is to provide innovative and updated solutions, which will offer greater flexibility, scalability, security and economic efficiency. The need to meet the quality requirements of international markets, which will soon apply to the Portuguese market, led Maxdata to become the first Portuguese company operating in the healthcare area certified according to the ISO 20000 international standard.
