At a Glance
Stratify 360 helped a large academic hospital improve patient care, streamline operations, and improve employee experience by migrating from mainframe to the cloud. The move accelerates innovation and helps generate dramatic savings. For the client, prioritizing IT simplification became key to the organization’s mission of enhancing patient care, data security, and employee satisfaction.
For years the hospital relied on a mainframe platform for its data and applications. However, as annual maintenance costs increased and mainframe personnel became scarcer, the client decided to determine how to operate more efficiently and be positioned for growth.
The Story
Streamlining IT infrastructure emerged as a critical strategy to elevate patient care, data security, and employee satisfaction. The organization had already had a Microsoft Azure in place for other enterprise needs. Therefore, cloud emerged as an obvious choice as it looked to simplify IT and streamline its business processes.
Transitioning to a cloud-centric model required a comprehensive assessment of the remaining mainframe resources to plan the migration effectively. A cross-functional team of mainframe experts and healthcare specialists collaborated on a comprehensive audit and data cleansing of the hospital’s mainframe systems.
Stratify 360 developed a detailed road map for retiring mainframe assets. Post-migration data is now optimized for quick retrieval, facilitating regulatory reporting and seamless integration with any cloud-based applications that may require it. The migration delivered a staggering cost reduction of nearly 93%, significantly improving operational efficiency.
Stratify 360’s deep industry knowledge and cloud migration expertise ensured a smooth transition. The team migrated mainframe data and archives to the cloud, built Tableau reports replicating legacy inquiry screens, and deployed RPA for downloading essential documents in their original format. With the mainframe burden lifted, the client is now equipped to invest its resources in initiatives that truly benefit the company.
