Leverages Microsoft Office 365 for increased
collaboration, communication and productivity throughout
organization
Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT), a leading information
technology consulting firm serving Global 2000 and other large
enterprise customers throughout North America, today announced it
is implementing the Microsoft cloud-based solution Office 365 at
cost for Partners In Health, a Boston-based nonprofit that delivers
high-quality health care and serves impoverished communities around
the world, from Haiti to Rwanda to Siberia. Perficient is
partnering with the client to establish and maintain an ideal user
experience with streamlined access to necessary cloud
applications.
Founded in 1987, Partners In Health works to strike at the root
causes of illness by weaving together clinical and social support
for poor and marginalized patients, by training local healthcare
providers in the communities they serve, and by advocating for
global policy change. Upon receiving a grant for Office 365
subscriptions from Microsoft, Partners In Health selected
Perficient to migrate its infrastructure to the cloud. For this
initiative, Perficient is leveraging the experience of its
award-winning Microsoft national business unit and Healthcare
practice to deliver the Office 365 suite at cost to the client’s
3,000 users, including implementing Exchange Online for
company-wide communication, Azure-hosted ADFS for identity
management, and SharePoint Online for document storage and
collaboration.
Deployment of Office 365 across sites in Africa, Haiti, Mexico,
Peru, Russia and the U.S. will further Partners In Health’s mission
to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. It
will also enhance cross-site communication and collaboration as the
organization responds to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Cloud-based storage allows documents to be accessed at any time
from any device in any setting, including those where bandwidth is
limited. With a common email platform, information may be shared
seamlessly among colleagues, partners and all others involved in
the fight against illness and poverty.
“The mission and values of Partners In Health firmly align with
Perficient’s aim to be responsible, active corporate citizens in
our larger community,” said Jeffrey Davis, Perficient’s chief
executive officer and president. “We are honored to support
Partners In Health’s mission as it works to attend to the needs of
underserved populations and improve the quality of health for
all.”
“With now more than 1.5 million users benefiting from
Perficient’s Microsoft cloud-based services, Office 365 has enabled
secure cloud applications and seamless communication throughout
organizations,” said Mike Gersten, vice president of Perficient’s
Microsoft national business group. “For the healthcare industry,
this is especially critical as colleagues confer with one another,
order and schedule shipments of medicine, share documents, conduct
research and more. By joining with Partners In Health, we are
unifying its current systems into one that facilitates efficient,
accessible and protected ways to use and share mission-critical
information.”
“When looking at technology solutions providers, Perficient’s
proven track record in the healthcare industry and demonstrated
Microsoft cloud services expertise stood out immediately,” said
Dave Mayo, CIO, Partners In Health. “Thanks to our partnership with
Perficient, we are adopting a consolidated, reliable platform for
colleague interactions - one that enables us to more effectively
serve our world’s most vulnerable. We are immensely grateful for
Perficient’s generosity and support of our efforts.”
