How can nonprofit healthcare providers reduce costs while modernizing critical systems?

A REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

Modernizing IT for Long-term Care

When a Minnesota-based personal home care provider saw its hypervisor vendor’s renewal costs triple, leadership knew it was time for a change. The organization’s infrastructure — once dependable — was now unsustainable from a budget standpoint. The organization needed a solution that could help transition away from expensive legacy systems without increasing the burden on its small IT team.

Enter CDW. As a familiar partner with a strong history of support, CDW could assess options, identify savings and guide the migration to a more affordable, flexible environment.

THE TURNING POINT

A Strategic Shift to the Cloud

CDW delivered a comprehensive solution to reduce costs and future-proof the organization’s digital infrastructure. Working closely with AWS, CDW completed the migration with zero cost to the client, thanks to full AWS funding.

To ensure success beyond the move itself, CDW also deployed its Managed AWS Services, giving the client expert support, proactive maintenance and access to best practices — without expanding its internal team.
