The challenge

Bringing a design vision to life with virtually zero downtime

Inter Valley Health Plan’s IT department had a clear design vision for its new infrastructure and needed a partner who could implement it using best business practices. Because the organization operates in a highly regulated environment, the project had to be completed with minimal impact on end users and virtually zero downtime.

“We needed a partner that could take our design vision and implement it using best business practices. Furthermore, we operate in a highly regulated environment. It means the project has to be completed with minimal impact to end users and virtually zero down time.”
