Case Study: LG CNS enters the US healthcare market with Microsoft Windows Azure IaaS

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

LG CNS, a Korean IT services provider, sought to expand into the US healthcare market. Their challenge was to offer electronic health record and point-of-care solutions to small facilities that lacked IT staff and infrastructure, all while ensuring strict compliance with US HIPAA data protection standards. To overcome this, they turned to Microsoft and its Windows Azure Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform.

By implementing Microsoft's Windows Azure IaaS, LG CNS gained a HIPAA-compliant cloud foundation. This allowed for rapid development, easy maintenance, and the affordable delivery of its solutions. The result was a quick entrance into the US market, with solution rollouts that were cut to less than half the usual time. This approach provided smaller healthcare facilities with a lower total cost of ownership and a better return on investment by eliminating large upfront infrastructure costs.
