Case Study: Partners In Health improves global healthcare collaboration with Microsoft Office 365 and Azure

Nonprofit delivers healthcare and hope to marginalized patients by using cloud services

Partners In Health (PIH), a global nonprofit healthcare organization, faced significant challenges due to a lack of standardized email and collaboration tools across its remote international field sites. These inefficiencies in communication and data sharing hindered their ability to coordinate care delivery and respond quickly to health crises. To better allocate resources to its mission, PIH worked with Microsoft to adopt Microsoft Office 365 and Azure cloud services.

By implementing Microsoft Office 365, including Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business, and SharePoint Online, Microsoft provided PIH with a unified, secure, and cost-effective communication platform. This solution enabled reliable global communication, secure data sharing, and mobile productivity for staff in even the most remote locations. The results were transformative, allowing PIH to mobilize a rapid response to the Ebola outbreak for the first time and avoid an estimated $250,000 in hardware costs, freeing more funds for direct patient care.
