What We Do  ›  Our Platform

Cloud computing is a relatively new and misunderstood concept  It comes into focus only when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software.

Most IT departments are forced to spend a significant portion of their time on frustrating implementation, maintenance, and upgrade projects that too often don’t add significant value to the company’s bottom line. Increasingly, IT teams are seeing reduced budgets and are reaching the limits of their capabilities to deliver new business applications.  They are turning to cloud computing technology to minimize the time spent on lower-value activities, allowing them to focus on strategic activities with greater impact on the business.

Cloud applications such as the ConvergenceHealth solution provide our clients with a path to quantifiable cost savings while increasing agility and scalability, in addition to providing a superior user experience.

Implementing Cloud applications on an enterprise scale multiplies the benefits, presenting new opportunities to streamline and integrate processes and systems. However, SaaS vs. Cloud is a relatively new model for consuming and delivering software and therefore raises some new questions.

Until recently, companies looking for a new application had to invest in owning and managing an entire IT infrastructure and then build a custom application which then needed to be integrated into their existing environments. This model of software development is expensive, difficult to support and relatively slow.

With the introduction of cloud platforms enterprises can significantly accelerate time-to-market, while building vastly more scalable, inexpensive, flexible and modern applications. This is possible because cloud platforms enable companies to focus on the business issues by eliminating many aspects of middleware/infrastructure management and scaling.
