Case Study: Tufts Medicine accelerates healthcare innovation with Amazon Web Services

Tufts Medicine Turns to AWS Marketplace for Agile Solutions that Accelerate Healthcare Innovation

Tufts Medicine, a healthcare organization, needed a faster and more cost-effective way to procure and test new IT and SaaS solutions than the traditional 8–12 week healthcare procurement cycle allowed. By using **Amazon Web Services** and **AWS Marketplace**, the team could more quickly evaluate vendors such as Infor and CrowdStrike while reducing the time and effort spent on onboarding and negotiations.

**Amazon Web Services** implemented **AWS Marketplace** as a centralized procurement channel for Tufts Medicine, helping streamline vendor vetting, contract management, and solution discovery. The results were significant: time-to-value dropped from weeks to days or hours, IT contracts were centralized with 3–4 new vendors added per month, compute storage usage grew 40% while costs fell 60%, and the organization was able to deploy antivirus software across 3,900 assets with no downtime.
