Community Health Network, one of Indiana’s largest nonprofit health systems, was facing a familiar challenge: another expensive hardware refresh for their on-prem Epic® infrastructure. But instead of repeating the cycle, they made a strategic decision to modernize.
With guidance from EHC Consulting, Community became the first organization to implement Intersystem’s Enterprise Cache Protocol (ECP) architecture natively on Azure.
Here’s what stood out about this project:
- A $9 million CapEx refresh was avoided.
- Epic response times improved by 20%.
- Exception rates dropped by 50%.
- The migration was completed in 12 months with no business disruption.
Community played an active role alongside EHC, ensuring their team was equipped to run Epic in the cloud long after go-live.
This case study breaks down how EHC led the full lifecycle of the migration—from architecture design to go-live cutover—while partnering closely with Microsoft and Epic to address complex infrastructure needs, including DR planning, Ultra Disk configuration, and environment management in Azure.
