Fifteen years ago, a software company launched a SaaS platform for construction project management that quickly rose to the top of the U.S. market and is used by tens of thousands of construction companies nationwide. Their .NET SaaS application was originally built in Rackspace Private Cloud, predominantly on Windows Server. They weren’t happy with the service they received at Rackspace, and had repeated downtime incidents (4 hours per month, on average).

The SaaS company approached Logicworks, a Microsoft Gold Certified and Azure Expert MSP Partner, to help them reboot their Azure migration efforts and help them get off Rackspace Private Cloud. They chose Logicworks for its history of helping “stuck” cloud migrations by identifying pain points and tackling compliance roadblocks.

As a result of working with Logicworks, the SaaS company was finally able to complete their migration to Azure after years of experimentation and false starts. The company’s migration to Azure was completed on-time and on-budget. The company is extremely satisfied with the flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ease-of-use of Azure App Services, Azure Files, and Azure SQL Server, Azure VMs, and other services, which combined with Logicworks’ support have reduced in-house database and VM management by 70%. They have maintained 100% uptime since launching on Azure. They are also confident that their cloud meets PCI-DSS standards, and rely on Logicworks’ monitoring and governance automation to maintain continuous compliance.

For many healthcare organizations, analyzing quality performance data is a significant challenge. Massachusetts eHealth Collaborative (MAeHC) is a non-profit consulting company that helps healthcare organizations tackle these challenges. After facing scaling constraints in their datacenter, they decided to migrate to a cloud solution when the contract for their datacenter came up for renewal. They engaged Logicworks to help them migrate their application to AWS. 

• .NET application has availability issues on-premises
• High cost of managing backups, patching, drives, desire to outsource cloud management
• High cost of datacenter hardware refresh
• Lack of in-house cloud expertise
• HIPAA and Mass 201CMR17.00 requirements
• Outdated (EOL) Windows Server databases

• AWS Migration Services: Logicworks helped evaluate their on-premises workloads, build a target AWS environment, and migrate data and applications
• Upgraded SQL Server 2008 to 2016, then migrated to Amazon RDS SQL Server
• AWS Managed Services: 24×7 technical support, patching, backups, monitoring, HIPAA audit support

As a result of migrating to AWS with Logicworks, MAeHC’s .NET application is more resilient, scalable, and protected against failures. HIPAA compliance controls are automated, further reducing the risk of manual error and non-compliance across billions of ePHI records.
