Apex Health Solutions: Security built into every project from its first meeting, and a predictable Azure bill.

The problem

Apex Health Solutions creates value-based alignment between health systems, payers, and providers. It chose to build natively in Azure and knew its data security strategy would decide its long-term success. It wanted its own people working on client value, not building a bench of security analysts.

The scope

Architecture of the initial Azure environment, then ongoing security, compliance, operations, and cost optimization.

What we did

• Architected the initial environment, networking, and security groups.
• Wrote standard documentation for security and operations.
• Deployed Azure Virtual Desktop, Azure Security Center, and other Azure services.
• Deployed Cloudticity Oxygen for ongoing security, compliance, and infrastructure operations.

The result

Security is considered at the start of every project because Cloudticity attends the weekly development meetings. Unused infrastructure is shut down and instances are right-sized, which keeps spend predictable.

“Cloudticity has made it easier for us to grow and expand and rely on cloud technologies to support our business goals. Without that support it would’ve been much more difficult for us to do so.”
