The Challenege
Wellcentive is an industry leader in data aggregation, and its Advance business
intelligence application is powered by big data analytics. The speed and reliability
of its IT infrastructure are critical. As a healthcare industry player handling vast
amounts of patient data, Wellcentive also requires HIPAA/HITECH compliance,
security and business continuity/disaster recovery.
The company relies heavily on outsourcing in order to maintain a lean corporate
infrastructure and an unobstructed view of its core opportunities and challenges.
When its technology and service requirements exceeded the capabilities of its
previous IT services provider, Wellcentive sought alternative solution providers
that could help the company stay ahead of its needs.
