The
Situation

Healthcare Provider is a growing therapy practice looking to improve the efficiency of its technology investments, reduce the distractions to the business from technology and modernize legacy architectures to a more cloud based and business outcome focused solution. Our organization was called in to help recover failing business critical technology services and evaluate how to best support them moving forward.

The
Solution

Aligned initially engaged with the Practice to bring stability to the technology platforms, assess their security posture and take a full assessment of technology in place to date. After defining business requirements and capabilities, Aligned recommended steps to bring capabilities to the client allowing for continued growth in their practice.

Cost Optimization

Issue: Small AWS deployment with little management oversight and a lack of cloud skills internal to the organization moving from traditional infrastructure to SaaS and cloud based solutions.

 

What we did

  1. AWS Audit
  2. Cost Optimization Review
  3. Ongoing Monitoring

 

Result:

  • Eliminated unused storage volumes and the old application server no longer in use, the charges for AWS resulted in a savings of 51% per month.
  • We’ll continue to monitor AWS billing and finance to ensure maintenance of savings and identify other future changes.
