Challenge

Yliopiston Apteekki, which serves consumers and healthcare organizations nationwide, had needs to utilize several public clouds. From the beginning, it was good to take into account the basic prerequisites for success in the multicloud model, which were consistent management of the whole and common operating methods. Fortunately, Yliopiston apteekki understood the tools for success right from the beginning, because it was known that several cloud projects will be realized in the future together with different application suppliers.

Known for its excellent customer service and constantly developing it, it was natural for Yliopiston Apteekki to choose an experienced company in the early stages to consult and help with AWS, Azure and GCP infrastructure, from a governance point of view and to create common rules for operators. When the choice of Cloud2 was confirmed, we set out to strengthen Yliopiston Apteekki’s own organization's knowledge of cloud services.

Solution

A functioning multicloud model was built with the help of Cloud2, and when working with application suppliers, the common rules supported a clear direction in the cloud journey. Together, Cloud2 and Yliopiston Apteekki found the best DevOps operating methods and thus it was possible to improve the uniformity of cloud environments. As a partner, Cloud2 has been reliable and the best practice solutions made for a multicloud environment have been reasonable and make business easier, according to Yliopiston Apteekki, when all clouds work the same across the board and there are no surprises.

Benefits

Yliopiston apteekki has gained cost efficiency, cost transparency and managed information security thanks to the developments made by Cloud2. From the whole, everything that has been wanted to be automated has been able to be automated. The benefits brought by automation can be seen as an increase in efficiency, and the common operating model of several clouds makes management easier.
