- STRATEGIZE FIRST. Infrastructure needs may vary widely depending on an organization’s size, complexity and business goals. A clear outline for what leaders want to accomplish should be the start of any modernization initiative.
- RATIONALIZE APPLICATIONS. Find out which applications can be consolidated and which are redundant. Each application needs a roadmap for future disposition that accounts for upgraded schedules and lifecycles.
- REDUCE TECHNICAL DEBT. Legacy systems are unavoidable in healthcare, but strategically moving workloads to the cloud, consolidating applications and deploying modern platforms can significantly reduce the impact of older technology.
- IMPROVE INTEGRATION. Effective integration also enables data modernization and processes that consolidate data into a central warehouse.
