Challenges We Faced
A leading healthcare provider in the MENA region faced critical challenges with its legacy IT infrastructure, impacting efficiency, security, and scalability:
- Scalability Limitations: The on-premises setup could not meet growing operational demands, causing resource constraints during peak usage.
- High Latency Issues: Slow system performance led to delays in critical healthcare operations, affecting patient care timelines.
- Excessive Maintenance Costs: Managing and upgrading on-premises systems consumed a significant portion of the IT budget.
- Inadequate Security Measures: Outdated security protocols struggled to protect sensitive patient data.
- Fragmented Data Landscape: Disconnected systems and data silos hindered decision-making and operational insights.
- Weak Disaster Recovery Capabilities: The absence of a comprehensive disaster recovery plan posed a business continuity risk.
The healthcare provider needed a scalable, secure, and cost-effective IT infrastructure to enhance operations and patient care.
