CLIENT CASE STUDIES

Fairview Health Systems in Minnesota employs over 34,000 employees representing over 5,000 doctors and over 2 million clinical visits annually.  Burdened by the complexity and cost of maintaining a variety of legacy applications containing patient records. Fairview needed to reduce operating expenses by eliminating old redundant systems, modernizing access to patient data and improve patient outcomes.

Platform 3 Solutions gives clinicians a comprehensive clinical view of patients records over a long period of time, ultimately resulting in better patient care. Repeatable methodology with technologies like Archon and Patient3Sixty will result in immediate and significant cost savings. Other benefits like 360-degree views of patient records, records retention, and HIM functions like ROI allow employees greater efficiency to take care of patience and less back-office burden for the administrative staff.

A Fortune 100 retailer with over 1000 stores and 120,000 employees was challenged to become compliant with the new consumer privacy laws like CCPA. With over 400 core systems potentially holding information about millions of customers, these repositories were not designed to allow what needs to happen with these new regulations.

Working with the internal IT and compliance team, Platform 3 Solutions has brought the experts and tools to help identity and define fundamental ‘data topics’ which will be mapped against all these existing systems. Then the decision about what needs to be archived, kept active or deleted will take place to allow for all the circumstances relating to not just the California privacy law, but others that are forthcoming.

Archiving and Retention Management ›

UnitedHealth has grown dramatically organically and through acquisition which has caused the need to migrate and retire systems by the 100s.

By using Platform 3 Solutions and Opentext InfoArchive, they have removed a few hundred applications out of their data centers allowing them to consolidate and standardize their process, data and data retention efforts.

Retirement and Decommissioning ›

The evolution of the organization through acquisition and drive to transform their business requires a repeatable ‘decommissioning refinery’. AS/400s, legacy RDBMS systems—the systems get into the 100s. But the need to maintain the data and applicable chain-of-custody is just as paramount in their journey to clean up ‘zombie systems’.

In working with Platform 3 Solutions, Medtronic has implemented their own internal ‘Application Decommissioning’ team that works with internal stake holders to properly evaluate the technical and retention needs of all global technologies.

Retirement and Decommissioning ›

BMO had immediate hard ROI in their ability to bring down systems as the organizations combined the US and Canadian entities. As the resulting data had significant PII and PCI ramifications—InfoArchive was used.

BMO’s first effort with InfoArchive decommissioning a Peoplesoft application resulted in a large financial savings.

Retirement and Decommissioning ›

To better compete, Briggs & Stratton needed to migrate off their legacy Peoplesoft running on UNIX and Oracle database. Running for decades, the organization made a move to cloud services—but the data needed to be maintained for employees, retirees and regulatory/compliance purposes.

The concern in how to maintain data that would not be moved was resolved while also having a flexible way to search and report on the data if the need arose. All the while maintaining global compliance for data that was also flexible enough to change as local legislation and retention requires change for decades to come.

Application Migration ›

As one of the largest financial institutions in the world with over $2.5 trillion in assets under management that has grown through both organic and acquisition methods, their data centers have bloated with old systems only running for those read-only moments if the need arises. These old technologies also do not have an effective means to find and place legal holds on data based on modern legal expectations.

The bank has created an internal team whose focus is the assess and retire technology globally using Platform 3 Solution’s Archon product and OpenText InfoArchive as the system-of-record.
