Healthcare provider taps into game-changing technology

Hackensack Meridian Health transforms with Citrix

Hackensack Meridian Health’s goal is to do things better, faster, smarter, and more economically – yet in a secure, consistent way. Their most recent mechanism is a hybrid cloud, multi-cloud IT solution. For each cloud, there is a use case. While a few workloads run on Microsoft Azure, the majority of use cases are Google Cloud-based. Migrations from Microsoft Office 365 to Google Workspace and from Windows desktops to Chrome devices are currently underway.

The team are building out a Google Cloud environment for their data analytics platform and a Citrix Virtual Desktop environment with DaaS capabilities. The solution has the flexibility to deliver apps and data to anyone at any time. Also, thanks to the new technology, Hackensack Meridian Health have reduced their real estate footprint significantly.

By the end of 2023, Mark Eimer (SVP, Associate CIO and CTO) and his team expected to have reached 98% completion of the initiative to migrate the hospital system’s entire workforce to Google Workspace and Google Chrome plus Citrix.
