Case Study: Vizient achieves a seamless HIPAA-compliant cloud migration with Deft

How Vizient migrated infrastructure from four different healthcare companies into a single, HIPAA-compliant environment using Cloud Migration, Hybrid Cloud, and Colocation services from Deft

Vizient, a major healthcare services company formed from the merger of several organizations, faced the immense challenge of migrating its disparate infrastructure from four different companies into a single, unified environment. The company needed a HIPAA-compliant solution that would get them out of infrastructure management on an extremely tight six-month timetable. They engaged vendor Deft, leveraging its cloud migration, hybrid cloud, colocation, and disaster recovery services to meet this complex goal.

Deft conducted a thorough assessment and managed the entire project, creating a detailed migration checklist and a flexible, custom plan. The solution involved building a primary hybrid cloud in a new data center, physically moving data to overcome connectivity hurdles, and providing continuous managed services. Despite challenges like the WannaCry hack mid-migration, Deft successfully migrated all applications and data with zero downtime and a 100% success rate for 29 healthcare providers. The result was a future-proof, scalable infrastructure that transitioned Vizient's expenses from CapEx to OpEx and optimized their platform for SaaS delivery.
