CASE STUDY: MediSecure
Overview: Telehealth provider, 1500 employees, $300M revenue. Core app on AWS, 3 acquired clinics on VMware, fragmented EHRs, Active Directory.
Business Req: Unify patient records, integrate clinics in 90 days, launch patient portal.
Execs: CEO wants rapid integration; CFO wants CapEx to OpEx; CISO demands strict HIPAA/GDPR compliance.
Tech Req: End-to-end PHI encryption, comprehensive audit logging, hybrid connectivity to clinics, DR (RPO 5m, RTO 1h).
