Case Study: Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services achieves scalable, secure cloud operations with Cloudticity

MiHIN shut down its co-located data centers after moving to AWS, immediately cutting costs by eliminating the expense of maintaining them

Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services (MiHIN), Michigan’s state-designated health information exchange, needed a more scalable, cost-effective way to handle more than 12 million patient health information messages each week. Its co-located data centers were becoming too rigid and expensive to support growing data volumes, new service requests, and the need for greater security and flexibility. MiHIN partnered with Cloudticity to help move its exchange to the cloud using Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cloudticity’s HIPAA-compliant healthcare expertise.

Cloudticity implemented a migration to AWS supported by its Oxygen™ platform, which provides fully automated, preconfigured, HIPAA-compliant resources. The result was that MiHIN shut down its co-located data centers, immediately reducing infrastructure costs and freeing up money previously tied up in software licenses and management tools. With Cloudticity, MiHIN gained more consistent and secure provisioning, faster deployment, and more time for its internal teams to focus on healthcare innovation rather than hardware maintenance.
