Case Study: Philips achieves a scalable, cloud-native HealthSuite Digital Platform and faster time-to-market with Pivotal Cloud Foundry (Pivotal)

120 year-old industrial giant builds the HealthSuite Digital Platform to offer new experiences and customer differentiation in healthcare

Philips, a 120‑year‑old industrial leader, set out to build its HealthSuite Digital Platform to deliver connected, patient‑centric healthcare experiences but was blocked by a sprawling, legacy IT footprint. Complex silos, costly manual provisioning, and difficulty ingesting and analyzing diverse clinical and wellness data prevented the company from creating real‑time, secure services and new business models.

Philips adopted Pivotal Cloud Foundry, a cloud‑native platform that unified on‑premise and cloud services, automated provisioning, and abstracted infrastructure with elastic runtime and APIs. The result: faster, more secure access to data, large‑scale migration of legacy apps, dramatically reduced provisioning time (from weeks/months to minutes), lower TCO, and the ability to launch new revenue‑generating services across its healthcare and wellness businesses.
