Accenture has won a tech deal to assist the Mount Sinai Health System (Mount Sinai) with its transition to Microsoft cloud.
Accenture will collaborate with New York City’s largest academic medical system to devise and securely execute its cloud migration of clinical applications, including its Epic electronic health records system. Microsoft will provide quality assurance throughout this landmark academic center’s Azure migration process.
Accenture, together with Avanade, its joint venture with Microsoft, will help lead the development and implementation of the underlying Azure architecture on which the solution is being built.
Accenture, one of the leading IT service providers, will provide hybrid cloud managed services post migration. The managed services will include server management and support for migrated workloads; storage and backup operations; database support; and automation and analytics.
“We are reinforcing our commitment to innovation to support our mission by working with Accenture and Microsoft — two technology and cloud leaders — to improve the agility and the modernization of our technology estate,” said Kristin Myers, executive vice president, chief information officer, dean for Information Technology (IT), Mount Sinai Health System.
