Healthcare IT company simplifies data center operations, builds efficiencies for the future

If your doctor shows you an MRI on a mobile device or prescribes your medication electronically, those technological capabilities come from a specialized healthcare IT services company. One of the largest of these companies in the United States gets its managed IT services from Atos.

The challenge

Atos put its healthcare experience and data center innovations into a proposal that would:

Migrate three data centers to Atos
Provide 12 percent savings in 4.5 years
Address storage definition and backup pricing pain points
Present a roadmap for efficiencies through automation
Identify synergies for future efficiencies.

The two companies came to an accord and began putting key components in motion for what will be Atos’ largest implementation of Canopy Orchestrated Hybrid Cloud in North America.

The solution

The biggest efficiencies in a project like this generally come from standardization and automation — assisted by service orchestration, hybrid cloud, data backup, artificial intelligence and analytics.

Standardization and consolidation
Automated service orchestration
Orchestrated hybrid cloud
Collaborative data backup
Cognitive and autonomic support
One source for reporting
Visual service journeys.

Business benefit

When the consolidations and standardizations are complete, the healthcare company will be doing even more with less. It’ll have a smaller data center footprint and lower costs. And it will be well positioned to advance its client services in the future through the IT foundations it partnered with Atos to build:

A digital onramp to global markets through hybrid, private and public clouds
Packaged cybersecurity offerings that protect patient data and create additional revenue streams
Atos analytics tools and data science expertise to speed the analysis of dataintensive genomics and population health information
More options for health record archiving and third-party hosting services.
