Case Study: McKesson achieves accelerated public-cloud transformation and reduced data-center dependency with Rackspace Technology

McKesson - Customer Case Study

McKesson, the largest and oldest U.S. healthcare company serving over half of U.S. hospitals and one-fifth of physicians, needed to modernize applications and move complex, compliance-sensitive workloads to public cloud while maintaining strict security and regulatory controls. The organization sought a consultative, lifecycle partner to build business cases, get buy-in across diverse business units, and accelerate migration from capex-heavy data centers to an opex cloud model.

Rackspace provided managed cloud, professional services and Azure-based application and DevOps support, delivering assessments, tailored landing zones, migrations and ongoing operations with a security-first approach. As a result McKesson moved dozens of apps across multiple business units to public cloud, reduced dependence on dedicated data centers, preserved healthcare compliance and governance, and realized estimated cost savings of roughly 40–50% while accelerating its cloud-first strategy.
