The Client Domain.
A leading Healthcare company is revolutionizing the healthcare industry by helping self-insured employer groups, TPAs, and insurance companies save money through innovative solutions. With a strong focus on leveraging data analytics and AI-driven technology,Client is committed to optimizing cost management and improving healthcare outcomes for their clients.
The Challenge.
Client has the challenge of managing and analyzing vast amounts of sensitive healthcare data to drive cost containment strategies effectively. With the need for secure and compliant data storage, processing, and analytics, they sought a trusted partner to help them navigate these complexities and unlock the full potential of their data assets.
Client has initially had on-premise infrastructure, which posed challenges in terms of security, compliance, scalability, and agility. As they aimed to externalize their data and technology as a platform, particularly with a focus on mobile applications and consumer interaction, they anticipated rapid growth and the need for a secure, scalable, and compliant environment in a cloud environment. Security became even more crucial as they expanded their B2C operations, impacting end patients’ data privacy.
The Solution.
iPivot emerged as the ideal partner for Client in effectively managing risks and assisting Client with their migration efforts. iPivot’s expertise in secure and compliant cloud infrastructure, combined with deep understanding of healthcare data privacy and security regulations, made them the perfect match to assist Client in their digital transformation journey.
Client made the strategic decision to migrate to a cloud-based platform as a service, with AWS as their chosen cloud provider due to their advanced maturity in the market. They acquired multiple companies that were predominantly on-premises, and iPivot supported them in migrating these entities to the AWS cloud environment. Client’s data processes, being cloud-native, were moved into AWS Glue and Lambda, while their applications were rearchitected to follow container-based models, enabling faster scalability and efficient spinning off of services. They adopted an API-driven approach, allowing external customers to interact seamlessly.
With iPivot’s assistance, Client recently built a new application with a backend built on .NET and C# containerized in Docker and ECS. They embraced AWS services like Lambda, Glue, and Sagemaker for their machine learning work.
