In an era where the virtual realm intertwines seamlessly with our daily lives, the stability and accessibility of digital services stand as pillars of paramount importance. Imagine a scenario where an ecommerce platform experiences an unexpected server crash during a peak shopping season or a cloud-based application encounters downtime just as users attempt to access…

Reduce operational drag without touching your core clinical systems. Learn how Specialty Cloud provides the isolation and predictable power healthcare workloads need.

Healthcare providers keep asking us about their infrastructure. Some see latency during peak hours. Others see delays in routine tasks or unexpected downtime in non-core systems. Whatever the symptoms, the cause is usually the same: too many workloads packed into one core environment. While having everything in one place feels simpler, it also creates hidden…

Most healthcare leaders I speak with aren’t trying to overhaul their technology. They’re trying to make sure the systems supporting care don’t quietly make operations harder. Over time, I see the same pattern. New tools get added to improve patient experience.Integrations connect systems that didn’t talk before.Vendors introduce new capabilities. Each decision makes sense on…

I rarely meet a healthcare leader who’s excited about audits. Most are simply trying to make sure that when questions come—from an auditor, a vendor, the board—the answers don’t require scrambling. By the time you’re evaluating hosting options, you already understand what handles PHI. What you’re really deciding now is something else: If someone asks,…

Compliance documentation rarely feels urgent … until it suddenly is. None of these moments are surprising in healthcare. What is surprising is how often organizations scramble to gather documentation they assumed would be easy to obtain. Access to compliance documentation isn’t just admin housekeeping. It directly affects deal velocity, audit readiness, and leadership confidence. For…

Healthcare organizations rarely set out to create complex infrastructure. Most environments grow in response to patient needs, operational demands, and new tools that promise to make care easier. Over time, systems accumulate around the EHR: patient-facing applications, integrations, analytics, file transfers, and recovery environments. These systems are not inherently unsafe. They’re often just harder to…

Fintechs and digital-first companies are no longer content to sit behind sponsor banks. They want direct access, long-term control, and regulatory permanence. For fintech leaders, this is more than industry news: it’s a signal. The path to becoming…

Two infrastructure decisions many regional banks and credit unions are quietly navigating If you’re responsible for technology, security, or operations at a regional bank or credit union, this probably sounds familiar: You’re not trying to overhaul everything—you’re trying to move forward responsibly. A system that once felt contained is now more visible. Something that lived…

Why clear responsibility models make non-core systems defensible.  If you’re responsible for technology, risk, security, or operations at a regional bank or credit union, this moment may feel familiar. You’re not being asked to redesign the environment – you’re being asked to stand behind it.  A system already exists. It’s already doing something important. And…

A practical guide for leaders in regulated financial institutions. This conversation usually starts earlier than people realize. Most infrastructure decisions don’t start as infrastructure decisions. They start as: At some point, someone says, “We need hosting.” And suddenly the conversation jumps straight to providers, pricing, and platforms—often before anyone has slowed down long enough to…

There’s a moment many teams recognize instantly. A customer-facing system starts to matter more—not just to marketing, but to leadership. Traffic spikes spark performance conversations. A public issue triggers internal escalation. Security asks harder questions. Compliance wants more documentation. At some point, someone asks: ‘This is touching customers now. Should this be in the core?’…
