IKS Health taps itopia’s cloud automation to help doctors focus more on patient interaction
IKS Health helps manage the back office of thousands of healthcare establishments. The visionaries at IKS Health design solutions that improve modern medicine by enabling efficiency and intimacy that can improve the patient-physician relationship. IKS Health believes in relieving physicians of the administrative and computer-based tasks that can distract them from maximizing their one-on-one interaction with the patient at all times.
Challenge
IKS Health’s distributed workforce needed access to mission-critical applications such as OpenOffice, Chrome Browser, collaboration platforms, and proprietary technology while working from home. IKS Health sought a modern, cloud-native solution that would be easier to administer, scalable across geographies, and more cost-efficient.
itopia allowed IKS Health to centrally manage their distributed workforce from a unified console in the browser, while the global environment was hosted on Google Cloud’s high-speed network.
