Title: Fortune 50 Pharmaceutical Services Provider Delivers Mission
Critical Cancer Care to Oncology Clinics Faster and More Cost
Effectively with Apprenda PaaS
Summary: Dealing with tight timelines, regulatory/compliance
issues and needing a stable platform for this mission critical
endeavor, AmerisourceBergen used the Apprenda platform to
rapidly deliver a state of the art oncology application to physicians
treating patients for cancer across more than 700 clinics.

Case Study #2 Diebold
Title: Global Leader in Integrated Self-Service Security Systems
Increases Agility, Efficiency and Availability of Private Cloud with
Apprenda PaaS
Summary: After extensively evaluating Apprenda and VMware
Cloud Foundry, Diebold selected Apprenda as it’s enterprise .NET
PaaS. Apprenda allows the customer to rapidly write, deploy and
manage multi-tenant cloud applications for both internal and
external customers in 90 countries worldwide with unparalleled
depth and maturity for Microsoft platform technologies.

faster by inheriting multi-tenancy, high availability and elasticity
from the Apprenda PaaS. IT is able to operate an agile self-service
application platform decoupling applications from infrastructure.
This is accomplished with existing investments in Windows Server
