Digital Transformation Journey to The Cloud

Led a healthcare organization from a legacy on-prem datacenter to Azure and Microsoft 365, within strict regulation.

On-prem DC to Azure + M365

Digital Transformation Journey to The Cloud

The situation

A healthcare organization was running on a legacy on-premises datacenter and wanted to move to Azure and Microsoft 365 — while staying inside strict healthcare regulations the whole way.

What drove it

  • Faster time to market, by avoiding manual migration and minimizing custom development.
  • Scaling without buying hardware.
  • Building cloud-native applications.

What I did

I orchestrated the transition. The transition-state architecture was a hybrid-cloud model: the on-premises datacenters stayed connected while workloads moved to Azure, and a new identity management system was integrated along the way. Discovery began with an agentless inventory of the estate using the MAP Toolkit.
