The solution

In a bid to transition to the cloud and undergo digital transformation, the client set up a Cloud COE, and Virtusa was chosen to be an active participant of the advisory body.

With deep domain experience and engineering heritage, we continuously engage with the client and offer valuable recommendations on the best-fit cloud, database and architecture. We develop PoCs that serve as a blueprint for the development team, and hand-hold the client through the implementation process, ensuring that they stick to the best practices. In addition, we maintain a Git repository that encourages development teams to reuse architecture/code rather than reinvent the wheel.

A prime example of Virtusa's participation in the COE was helping the client leverage the cloud to make data easily accessible across the organization. This meant implementing a HIPPA compliant data mart comprised of provider directory and patient information along with a cloud-based search engine. Keeping this in mind, the COE recommended that AWS, with its numerous data services such as Redshift Spectrum, Athena, Quick Sight, and Glue, was the best fit cloud platform for Cigna Some of the key features and benefits of these services are highlighted below:

Amazon Redshift Spectrum, a feature of Amazon Redshift, enables users to run queries against exabytes of unstructured data in Amazon S3, with no loading or ETL required, thereby saving costs. It separates storage and compute so that each function can be scaled independently.
Amazon Athena, ideal for quick ad-hoc querying, is an interactive query service that analyzes data in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. Due to its server less nature, infrastructure costs are minimal and users pay only for the queries they run.
Amazon Quick Sight lets users import/access data from diverse sources, analyze it through graphical charts, and publish data dashboards for easy reporting.
AWS Glue is a fully managed ETL service that makes it easy for customers to prepare and load their data for analytics
