NextGate is the global leader in healthcare enterprise identification software. Their software was deployed in a single tenant model, with each hospital system or healthcare provider installing their software in their own datacenters. In order to meet the demands of their customers for cloud-based SaaS, NextGate turned to Logicworks to migrate their software to a single tenant model on AWS.
Challenges
- Desire to deliver their on-premises, single tenant software as cloud-based SaaS solution
- Need for each customer to have completely siloed data, web, and app tiers while still maintaining central governance and manageability
- HIPAA and HITRUST compliance requirements
- Desire to focus team on software development, not infrastructure maintenance
Solutions
- Assessment of their current on-premises infrastructure to understand networking, storage, and HIPAA compliance requirements
- Design and build of a secure, HIPAA-enabled AWS architecture with a central hub network connected to siloed customer networks
- Ongoing AWS Managed Services, including 24×7 monitoring, patching, backups, and incident response
- Automated build-out of new infrastructure whenever new NextGate customer onboards
Results
The NextGate cloud-based SaaS product has been very successful, and major municipalities and hospital systems are already adopting it. NextGate’s partnership with Logicworks and AWS has helped them get to market quickly and capture market-share, maintaining their clear leadership position in this specialized healthcare informatics vertical.
“Logicworks understands that compliance is more than just a checkbox; from their HITRUST certification to their compliance automation practices, they bring a maturity and level of expertise that clearly differentiates them from other cloud partners. IT security and compliance are extremely important at NextGate, and we feel confident that our AWS environment meets the highest standards.”
