Our customer

PointClickCare is the leading cloud-based software platform for the senior care market. Its goal is to help healthcare providers meet the challenges of senior care by enabling them to achieve business results that matter – enriching the lives of their residents, improving financial and operational health, and mitigating risk.

Since its introduction into the long-term post-acute care (LTPAC) market in 2000, the company now has over 10,000 senior care organizations using its software every day, enabling a more coordinated and collaborative approach to care across the senior care continuum.

"Every person at Rackspace had the right skills, and they could see our vision, and find unique solutions to get around roadblocks on our way to achieve that vision."

The obstacles they faced

A number of challenges needed to be addressed during the migration, including maintaining HIPAA compliance, MS Active Directory and DNS re-architecture, setup of a large highly available CIFS data storage, replication of large amount of SQL and file-based data, complex networking, and development of a new CI/CD pipeline to deliver the application. To address these challenges PointClickCare engaged with Rackspace Technology®, which the company had worked with on a previous big data analytics engagement.

How we helped

By leveraging AWS, PointClickCare was able to meet the HIPAA requirements fully and to ensure the safety and security of the data recovery process.

According to David Spencer, Senior Director, Service Infrastructure, SAAS Operations, PointClickCare, the decision to choose AWS wasn’t difficult.

“We knew this wasn’t going to be a lift and shift from on-prem to the cloud, and we needed a breadth of services with a focus on security and deployment, which is why we chose AWS,” he said. “We also looked at Azure, but the maturity of services was just not there.”

What we achieved together

By leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS), PointClickCare fully met HIPAA requirements, which in turn is empowering senior care organizations using PointClickCare tools to improve efficiency and reduce risk.
