A while back, we met a healthcare technology team that impressed us with how deeply they care about improving healthcare through data. They'd been working hard for years to help hospitals, insurance companies, and other healthcare organizations make sense of their information. But despite all their success, they'd hit a wall.
When they shared their challenges with us, we immediately knew that moving their data and analytics to the cloud could help. So, we suggested migrating their systems to Amazon Web Services (AWS). We believed this would not only solve their immediate problems but also help them keep growing and innovating in the future.
This article shares their story—who they are, their challenges, and how we worked together to overcome them.
About the Company
For over 30 years, this company has helped healthcare organizations turn vast amounts of data into valuable insights that improve patient care and reduce costs. Their work supports hospitals, insurance companies, and others in making wise decisions that benefit patients and businesses. Over time, their solutions have saved the industry millions of dollars.
The Problem They Faced
Like many growing companies, this healthcare tech provider initially managed its data in its own data centers, also known as “on-premises.” But as it grew, so did the amount of data it had to manage.
Soon, their old systems were struggling to keep up. Processing big chunks of data was getting slower and more expensive. On top of that, healthcare has strict rules about keeping data private and secure, which makes things even more complicated.
They needed a way to handle more data, analyze it faster, and keep everything secure without spiraling costs.
The Solution We Offered
Mactores recommended moving their systems to the cloud, specifically using AWS. Here's how we helped:
- Faster Data Processing: We set up tools that let them quickly analyze vast amounts of data. Things that used to take hours could now happen in minutes.
- Central Storage in the Cloud: We moved their data into Amazon S3, a secure and scalable storage space for information. This made it much easier for their teams to access and manage everything in one spot.
- Better Insights and Reporting: We helped improve how they prepare and process data, so their reports and dashboards could be built faster.
- Strong Security and Compliance: Healthcare data needs to stay protected. We implement strict security measures to keep everything safe and follow industry rules.
- Lower Costs and More Flexibility: The cloud allowed the company to pay only for what it used. It also allowed it to easily scale up during busy times without wasting money on extra hardware when things were slower.
The Results
After the move to the cloud, the healthcare tech provider saw real benefits:
- They could build dashboards twice as fast, giving their clients quicker insights.
- Their sales teams had better tools to show potential clients real-time data, helping close more deals.
- The new system was modern, flexible, and ready to grow with their business.
Here's a quick look at what the company achieved after moving to the cloud.
