Accenture https://www.accenture.com and Microsoft https://microsoft.com are assisting Mount Sinai Health System’s transition to the cloud to help modernize the infrastructure and help Mount Sinai https://mountsinai.org reinvest cost savings.
Accenture will collaborate with Mt Sinai which is N.Y.’s largest academic medical system and help devise and securely execute their strategic cloud migration for clinical applications, including their EPIC EHR system.
Microsoft will provide quality assurance throughout Mt Sinai’s Azure migration process. Accenture, together with Avanade, and their joint venture with Microsoft will help develop and implement the underlying Azure architecture on which the solution is being built.
In addition, Accenture will provide hybrid cloud managed services post migration. The managed services will include around the clock server management and support for migrated workloads, storage and backup operations, database support, and automation and analytics.
Mt Sinai is also building on their ongoing innovation efforts using artificial intelligence within clinical care and research. For example, Mount Sinai’s Clinical Intelligence Center is focused on finding ways to use digital tools to fight COVID-19. The strategic migration to Microsoft Azure will further expand Mt. Sinai’s mission to bring AI-enabled products from bench to bedside.
