SAP for Healthcare

Managed Cloud as a Service

Accelerate Time to Value and Reduce Costs with Managed Cloud as a Service

Overview

Overview

Todays unprecedented focus on the individual patient has led to breakthrough innovations in technology that are part of the transformation to cost-effective, outcomes-based care across the industry. A flexible IT infrastructure built to support industry best practices is essential to that mission. Yet smaller healthcare providers often lack the capital and IT resources needed to effectively manage on-site software and databases. Thats why forward-thinking providers are taking advantage of managed cloud as a service. With this model, they can leverage powerful, proven SAP

solutions with the

speed, agility, security, and favorable economics of cloud deployment.

Organizations also want to spend less time building and maintaining IT systems and more time delivering personalized services for their patients and citizens. With managed cloud as a service, they can focus on providing high-quality care not managing IT systems. Managed cloud as a service enables subscription delivery of SAP solutions on the private cloud of an SAP-certified partner or service provider. Compared with traditional on-premise software deployment, subscription delivery of software can lower total cost of ownership by 30% over five years,

almost half of those savings realized in the first year. 1. VMS AG report, The Impact of MCaaS on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
