Cloud Migration
Migrating a Healthcare SaaS Platform to Azure
Illustrative example: this case study shows how KPThink approaches this kind of engagement. It is not a specific named client, and the figures below illustrate the type of outcome we target, not a verified result.
Industry
Healthcare SaaS
Company Size
150-person healthcare SaaS company
Illustrative example based on a common engagement pattern, not a specific named client.
The Problem
The client ran its patient scheduling platform on aging on-premises servers. Scaling for new hospital customers meant buying more hardware every quarter.
The security team could not prove HIPAA compliance without a manual audit each time a new customer asked for one.
What KPThink Did
- Migrated the core application and database to Azure using a phased lift-and-shift plan.
- Rebuilt the data layer on Azure SQL Database with automated backups and encryption at rest.
- Set up Azure Active Directory and Conditional Access for HIPAA-aligned identity controls.
- Configured Azure Monitor and Log Analytics for continuous compliance visibility.
- Ran the cutover in phases so the client had zero unplanned downtime.
The Outcome
99.98% uptime
during the entire migration window
40%
reduction in infrastructure cost
Passed
first HIPAA audit after migration on the first attempt
