Healthcare Cloud Migration Services
HIPAA-compliant cloud migration for healthcare organisations — EHR systems, PACS, clinical workloads, and patient data infrastructure.
Why Businesses Need This Service
Healthcare organisations face unique migration challenges that generic cloud migration approaches fail to address: HIPAA compliance obligations, Business Associate Agreement (BAA) requirements with cloud providers, EHR integration dependencies (Epic, Cerner, Meditech), DICOM imaging volumes, and zero-tolerance for clinical data downtime. Protected health information requires specific data handling procedures that go far beyond standard data transfer — from PHI-segregated landing zones to validated rollback procedures for clinical systems.
Key Capabilities
Comprehensive capabilities to address your cloud needs
HIPAA-compliant cloud landing zone design with PHI-segregated environments and network isolation

Example Success Story

Client Challenge
A 12-hospital health system needed to exit an aging data centre hosting Epic, PACS, and 40+ clinical applications within 24 months. The environment held 15 million patient records and processed 500K HL7 messages daily.
Cloud Solution Implemented
We conducted a full HIPAA risk assessment, designed a PHI-segregated Azure landing zone, executed BAAs with Microsoft, migrated Epic in 6 waves with zero-downtime database cutovers, and moved the PACS archive to Azure Healthcare APIs.
Business Results
Epic migrated to Azure with zero unplanned downtime across 12 hospital sites
Data centre fully decommissioned 3 months ahead of deadline
Infrastructure costs reduced 47% vs on-premises over 3-year projection
HIPAA Security Rule compliance documented and audit-ready
Disaster recovery RPO improved from 4 hours to 15 minutes
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Healthcare Cloud Migration Services
Yes. AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud all offer HIPAA-eligible services and sign Business Associate Agreements. We manage BAA execution as part of the engagement. Every specific service used for PHI must be BAA-covered — not all cloud services in each provider's portfolio qualify. We validate BAA coverage before any PHI workload is migrated.
