Case Study: athenahealth achieves faster, more secure stack builds with Puppet

AthenaHealth Inc. cuts stack delivery time from 1 day to 2 hours with Puppet

The customer athenahealth, a provider of network-enabled healthcare services, faced manual and inconsistent infrastructure build processes alongside challenges in meeting strict security and compliance standards. Their goal was to achieve "zero-touch" automated stack builds. They adopted Puppet's automation and configuration management solutions to replace manual methods and Group Policy.

By implementing Puppet, athenahealth automated application stack builds and enforced consistent configurations across their infrastructure. This solution reduced stack delivery time from one day to two hours and cut the cost to provision stack software installs by 87%. Puppet enabled more secure, compliant, and scalable infrastructure-as-a-service, moving the company significantly closer to its desired "zero-touch" build process.
