Case Study: LG CNS achieves rapid U.S. healthcare market entry and affordable cloud EHR delivery with Microsoft Azure

Korean Company Uses Infrastructure-as-a-Service Solution to Enter US Healthcare Market

LG CNS, a global Korean IT services provider, sought to sell electronic health records and care solutions to small U.S. nursing homes and assisted‑living facilities but found these customers lacked IT staff, budgets, and on‑premises infrastructure. To meet HIPAA security and privacy requirements while minimizing customer IT burden, LG CNS needed a cloud-hosted platform that supported rapid, mobile-enabled deployment.

LG CNS chose Windows Azure IaaS for HIPAA-compliant virtual machines and storage, strong mobile support, and easy development and integration with Microsoft communication tools. Hosting EHR, Smart POCS, and telemedicine on Azure let LG CNS enter the U.S. market quickly (solutions available June 2013), deploy updates remotely, deliver Smart POCS in about two weeks, and offer more affordable, pay‑monthly services that reduced customers’ TCO and improved ROI while enabling overseas expansion.
