Cloud services are infrastructure, software, or data systems that are hosted by third-party platform providers and made available to users through the internet. Clouds enable compute and storage, which is the art and ability of running workloads within a cloud environment.
Modern-day cloud services include IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. Essentially, a perfect blend of apps, infrastructure, security, automation, CI/CD, and API capabilities on a pay-per-use pricing model could be rendered via the public cloud, the private cloud, the government cloud, or a hybrid cloud.
The best examples of PaaS clouds include managed private clouds and public clouds. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), IBM Cloud, and Oracle Cloud are the best examples of public clouds. Salesforce, ServiceNow, Protegrity, UI Path, and Automation Anywhere (AA) platform solutions are perfect examples of SaaS-based cloud services.
Cloud services for healthcare payer (P1), provider (P2), pharmaceutical (P3), and platform (P4) companies provide a range of benefits, from increased effectiveness to better data security. Now important workflows are delivered via cloud services, i.e., enrollment, eligibility, claims, provider network management, client relationship management (CRM), care management, risk management, electronic health records (EHR), practice management, telemedicine, clinical trials, medical imaging storage, IoT, etc.
Cloud services include cloud assessment, cloud migration, cloud security, and cloud management of apps, data, and infrastructure. It has a huge impact on regulated industries like healthcare, government health insurance, and SLED, and a sweet spot for GHIT Digital.
