A healthcare procurement software company’s in-house tech team struggled as the business expanded and took on more clients. Their infrastructure provider’s legacy data center often necessitated a couple of months of work to complete the process of onboarding a new client. The software supplier decided to virtualize their data center with VMware and search for an experienced cloud solution provider.
The company’s operations manager considered hyperscale cloud providers but wanted more pricing flexibility and personal support. He turned to a leading regional cloud supplier that leverages a consultative strategy and highly tailored solutions. The supplier’s staff worked with the software company’s team to assess each customer instance and right-size deployments according to need and usage to minimize waste and establish a new onboarding process. Now the software business can get a new client online in as little as two days. Additionally, by migrating their IT environment to the new cloud supplier, they now enjoy enhanced business continuity with rapid and geographically diverse disaster recovery services.
