Challenges - Legacy IT infra limits Renovated Care Ambitions

Watch The healthcare giant Case Study Viedo

The healthcare giant wanted to revamp their IT core with a rapid risk-proofed migration of the on-prem mission critical SAP applications that formed the HIMS core, to an effective cloud platform.

  • Legacy SAP applications running on-prem, limited infra capabilities
  • High latency systems delaying core healthcare operations
  • Extensive costs associated with maintaining HIMS on-prem
  • Limited data security and risk management
  • Limited data-driven capabilities in care services
  • Fragmented DR of mission-critical operations

The Solution: Cloud4C Transforms Critical Healthcare Operations on Cloud

As an Azure Expert MSP with 12 Azure Advanced Specializations, Cloud4C guided The healthcare giant with a risk-proof transition to Azure, migrating the core HIMS SAP applications on the cloud at zero disruption and data loss. Post a thorough assessment of the entire SAP landscape, a risk-proofed transformation blueprint was drawn out to help The healthcare giant unlock advanced HIMS capabilities on the cloud. Here’s how we helped.

Cloud4C moved the mission-critical SAP assets securely to Azure, with a laser-sharp focus on compliance and performance, and managed the network and OS of the SAP ecosystem. Committed to delivering patient-centered care without any business disruptions, The healthcare giant was able to offer improved integrated care experiences for outreach, engagement and care management.

As part of the Migration Factory approach, the Cloud4C team conducted a complete assessment of the existing SAP core and then installed SAP HANA, configuring the updated databases. The SAP data was also analyzed in-depth with ML technologies to help develop fully adaptive, intelligent experiences for end customers.

Cloud4C provided an enterprise-scale landing zone architecture designed on Microsoft Azure as per Microsoft’s CAF framework. The landing zone addressed the core requirements for a scalable and modular architecture. Within a very short period of time, the SAP landscape was migrated to Azure cloud without any delay or data loss.

The SAP workload subscription design from Cloud4C, enabled The healthcare giant to grant access to cloud services and resources through the Microsoft Azure Management Portal. Well-designed naming standards, organizational schemes and mapping, enabled the Burjeel team to identify resources in the portal, on a bill, and within scripts. Burjeel team could now take advantage of automation for resource creation, operational monitoring, creation of DevOps processes, chargeback and show-back accounting.

Azure Sentinel was deployed on on-premise and hybrid, multi-cloud IT stacks to strengthen Burjeel Holding’s security posture, provide proactive threat detection and real-time protection for their resources, assets and data from threats, including DDoS. Multi-layered, built-in security services like Azure Defender and other Azure Native and SOC tools were enabled. As an Azure-managed SOC services provider, Cloud4C enabled threat management systems, cybersecurity frameworks and cybersecurity analytics to offer insightful security intelligence capabilities.

Burjeel Holding’s existing DR strategy was replaced by a cloud-based continuity solution. Cloud4C created a DR site on a Landing Zone and empowered the healthcare giant with an additional layer of database resilience with DR services, providing business continuity 24/7.
