3. Customer trust and reputation: A well-designed disaster recovery plan restores customer faith in the event of a crisis, confirming business continuity and reducing downtime.

4. Competitive advantage: Having a strong disaster recovery plan gives healthcare organizations a competitive edge in today's business landscape.

5. Speed of Innovation: By incorporating automated deployments in the cloud modernization approaches and by eliminating infrastructure capacity limitations, we enable healthcare organizations in expediting research and release of clinical products and services.

6. Improved Developer Productivity: By leveraging cloud native services in the cloud modernization architecture, we empower developers in building and testing prototypes rapidly and as a result they are able to deliver new capabilities for patients, clinicians, and researchers much faster.

Designing a customizable and scalable architecture with PwC and AWS enables organizations to better connect, secure, and safeguard environments, fueling resiliency and enabling effective monitoring, response, and recovery while migrating and modernizing in the cloud.

Modernizing mainframes

We assist healthcare organizations in driving mainframe modernization by migrating from traditional mainframes to a scalable cloud architecture on AWS. This transformation unlocks the overall potential of applications and data by leveraging cloud agility, scalability, and cost-efficiency. Modernizing mainframe applications on AWS allows for greater flexibility, scalability, and faster time-to-market for digital initiatives. AWS provides services like AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) and AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) to facilitate a seamless migration process. By streamlining mainframe workloads with AWS' cloud infrastructure, underpinned with our strategy, organizations can reduce costs, improve performance, and unlock competitive advantage through advanced analytics, machine learning, and GenAI capabilities.

Together with AWS, we empower organizations to break free from legacy limitations, embrace scalable cloud architecture, and unlock new possibilities for growth and innovation.

Epic modernization on AWS

By deploying Epic, a comprehensive electronic health record system, on AWS, we are helping healthcare organizations to continually improve Epic environments, enhancing overall efficiency and customer experience with modular and hybrid designs. Modernizing Epic on AWS provides on-demand cloud resources and elasticity that help organizations to reduce costs, reallocate resources for valuable activities, and quickly resize infrastructure for growth. Together with AWS, we are helping healthcare organizations to maximize the benefit of Epic to unlock additional value.

Data modernization

We help health services organizations modernize data management and revolutionize healthcare by addressing the challenges of handling large, complex healthcare data while maintaining compliance and security. Our modern health data strategy improves patient care, communication, and data access while streamlining costs. Accessible data empowers clinicians for research and operations, and workflow automation reduces costs and improves efficiency. Together with AWS, we are improving outcomes at individual and population levels throughout a patient's healthcare journey, enabling healthcare organizations to maintain a competitive advantage.
