Accelerating Cloud Transformation in Healthcare: From On-Prem to AWS

The Situation

 

Faced with the limitations of aging on-premises infrastructure, executive leaders at a national healthcare services provider partnered with Optiv to execute a strategic migration to a secure AWS multicloud environment.

 

The goal: Enable enterprise-wide cloud capabilities that support innovation, enhance operational efficiency and lay the foundation for advanced technologies like generative AI. With Optiv’s expertise, the provider fast-tracked its cloud adoption journey without compromising compliance or security.

 

 

The Solution

 

To meet the client’s aggressive cloud deployment timeline and address their complex on-prem security landscape, Optiv began by developing a strategic cloud investment case. This assessment evaluated the client’s current infrastructure maturity and identified the foundational capabilities required for a successful transition to AWS.

 

From there, Optiv led a security tools rationalization effort, highlighting areas for consolidation and opportunities for strategic tooling investments. With a clear understanding of the client’s environment, we delivered a tailored migration framework to ensure a smooth, secure transition.

 

This included:

  • A secure governance model
  • A blueprint for establishing a Cloud Centre of Excellence (CCoE)
  • An interactive framework to align enterprise functions

 

To operationalize the migration, Optiv also delivered a secure cloud architecture, a deployment roadmap, reusable infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates and a plan to launch a cloud financial management office – positioning the client for long-term agility and control in the cloud.
