Case Study: Celtic Healthcare boosts collaboration and mobility with Microsoft Office 365 and Skype for Business

Celtic Healthcare calls on Skype and the cloud to support rapid growth

Celtic Healthcare, a large health provider with over 1,500 employees, faced significant operational challenges due to its rapid growth. Its outdated, on-premises systems struggled with capacity, compatibility issues between departments, and disaster recovery risks, making it difficult to support a mobile workforce of care providers. To support its expansion and streamline processes, Celtic Healthcare partnered with Microsoft and its partner Enabling Technologies to implement a cloud-based solution.

Microsoft’s solution involved migrating Celtic Healthcare to Office 365, which included Exchange Online, Skype for Business, SharePoint, and OneDrive. This move to the cloud optimized operations, reduced storage costs, and freed the IT department to focus on growth. The implementation empowered employees with seamless communication and collaboration tools; field staff used Skype for Business to attend meetings and stay connected, while SharePoint and OneDrive enabled instant, secure access to patient files from any location. Microsoft's technology provided Celtic Healthcare with a resilient, scalable platform that enhanced productivity and improved the quality of care for patients.
