A Global Healthcare Provider Gains Agility and Savings with ACI Cloud Transformation

The customer is a leading global healthcare services and solutions provider operating in over 100 countries, supporting hospitals, clinics, and care providers with a wide portfolio of medical products, technologies, and digital healthcare solutions. Known for its focus on quality, compliance, and patient safety, the organization manages large volumes of mission-critical data and transactions across distributed operations, and continually invests in modern technologies to ensure scalable, reliable service delivery worldwide.

As the organization expanded its global footprint and digital healthcare offerings, its legacy infrastructure began limiting agility, scalability, and cost efficiency. Despite operating virtualized environments within traditional data centers, the existing setup struggled to meet modern performance and demand requirements.

Due to the above factors, the company faced a couple of challenges such as:

Limited scalability of applications, restricting the ability to handle growing transaction volumes and user demand

Availability and performance issues during peak usage periods, impacting service reliability

High infrastructure, maintenance, and licensing costs associated with legacy systems

Slow provisioning and deployment cycles that delayed application updates and innovation

Operational complexity in managing distributed workloads across traditional data center environments

To address the client’s scalability, cost, and operational challenges, ACI Infotech designed and executed a comprehensive cloud transformation strategy focused on modernization, automation, and platform optimization. The goal was to migrate critical workloads to a resilient cloud environment while streamlining deployment processes and improving overall system performance.

As part of this initiative, ACI successfully migrated more than 120 applications from the client’s existing IBM data center infrastructure to the AWS Cloud, enabling them to run on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for enhanced flexibility and scalability. In parallel, the team implemented a fully automated deployment platform that allows developers to seamlessly move applications into Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS). This container orchestration environment simplified application lifecycle management by making it easier to deploy, run, scale, and manage Open Liberty containers across clustered environments.

By leveraging AWS-native services and automation capabilities, the organization significantly optimized infrastructure utilization and achieved a 58% reduction in infrastructure costs while establishing a scalable, high-performance foundation for future growth.

Following the cloud migration and automation initiative, the organization achieved measurable gains in cost efficiency, deployment speed, and operational performance, creating a scalable foundation for future growth.

Some of the key benefits accrued by the client include:

$220,000 annual savings by eliminating legacy IBM WebSphere licensing costs

58% reduction in infrastructure expenses through optimized cloud utilization

Over 200% faster migration rate, increasing from one application every three weeks to up to three per week

90% reduction in manual deployment effort, significantly lowering release preparation time

99.9%+ availability during peak periods, ensuring stable performance under heavy load
