Modernize your archive. Without the burden.

A traditional VNA sits between multiple PACS systems and tries to normalize data across them. Sirona is a unified platform — archive, viewer, reporter, and worklist share one data model. You can still ingest from multi-vendor sources via standard DICOMweb, but the archive isn't a separate orchestration layer. It's the same store the rest of the platform reads from, which removes a class of integration and sync problems VNAs are built to solve.

Yes — that's the recommended path. Sirona runs in parallel with your legacy PACS via standard DICOMweb. New studies route to both systems while historical priors stream over in the background. Once parallel-run validation confirms every study matches, you flip the routing and decommission the legacy system on your timeline. Radiologists keep reading throughout.

Sirona uses a per-study subscription with no upfront infrastructure cost. Storage tiering is handled inside the platform, so there is no capacity to forecast and no refresh to budget for. We size every quote against your actual study mix and historical archive size — there are no surprise capacity charges.

Go-lives typically fall between 1 and 9 months, with most of that range driven by data-migration requirements. That covers DICOM connections, worklist configuration, training, and parallel-run setup. How long the historical archive takes depends on its size, your bandwidth, and your validation cadence — the transfer runs in the background while your radiologists keep reading. Your IT team participates in decisions; Sirona handles execution.

Sirona is built for HIPAA and runs an active SOC 2 Type II program — attestation available under NDA. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, access is governed by role-based controls, and changes to clinical information are captured in audit logging. Storage runs on durable AWS S3 — eleven nines of object durability with multi-AZ high availability.

Your data is yours, stored in standard DICOM and exposed via DICOMweb. There's no proprietary container, no vendor-specific extension required to retrieve studies. If you ever migrate off Sirona, you can stream every study back out via the same standards-based interfaces it came in on. Modernization shouldn't trade one form of lock-in for another.
