Egton migrates to UKCloud’s award-winning Cloud Native Infrastructure
October 2017 by Marc Jacob
Egton has chosen to migrate to UKCloud, the easy to adopt, easy to use and easy to leave assured cloud services company. Egton, part of EMIS Group, has moved a range of its software services to UKCloud’s Cloud Native Infrastructure service, based on Red Hat OpenStack Platform.
UKCloud’s Cloud Native Infrastructure will provide a flexible and agile environment for Egton to innovate and continually enhance the services that it brings to the healthcare market. This includes their range of back office, compliance and business continuity solutions; the award-winning practice management software Intradoc247, and governance, risk and compliance software TheOneView. The platform also provides both enhanced performance and the highest level of security, compliance and assurance.
As a specialist in healthcare technology for nearly 20 years, Egton identified UKCloud as an organisation with a similar drive in improving access to information in critical UK markets.
It is exactly this ability to excel on all fronts: from performance and support, to innovation and value, as well as greater security and assurance, that has enabled UKCloud and its Cloud-Native platform to win a series of recent accolades. In May UKCloud won the global OpenStack SuperUser Award at the Boston OpenStack Summit, and in June and July UKCloud not only won an EMEA partner award from Red Hat, but was also elevated to Premier CCSP (Certified Cloud and Service Provider) status, making it not only the first, but currently the only Red Hat Premier CCSP in the UK or EMEA.
Further awards received by UKCloud this year include Best G-Cloud Provider and Best Overall Cloud Service Provider (in the 2017 UK Cloud Awards) and The Queen’s Award for Enterprise – the highest accolade for outstanding achievement in innovation.
