The client is a UK-headquartered international healthcare group, serving over 32 million customers across 190 countries. With operations spanning health insurance, private healthcare, and digital health solutions, the organization is a globally recognized name in health and wellness. Its mission is to make high-quality, accessible healthcare a reality for people around the world.
As the healthcare group rapidly expanded its global footprint, its internal IT and development operations began to show signs of strain. Managing digital initiatives across diverse time zones and business units led to fragmented workflows, duplicated efforts, and inconsistent delivery quality. The organization's core applications—powering everything from patient engagement platforms to clinical systems—needed faster innovation cycles and tighter integration. But achieving this at scale posed a formidable challenge.
The Chief Information Officer (CIO) faced mounting pressure to modernize the technology delivery model while ensuring data privacy, regulatory compliance, and service continuity across markets. Meanwhile, cost containment remained a high priority, especially in light of growing global operations and increasing talent shortages in key regions.
What the organization needed was clear—a flexible yet secure offshore engagement model that could reduce operational costs, tap into a deep talent pool, and work seamlessly with in-house teams across time zones using a Follow-the-Sun development model. But finding the right partner to deliver this level of integration, governance, and healthcare domain expertise was no easy task.
Building on its extensive experience in establishing over 27 Extended Development Centers (EDCs) globally, Datamatics utilized its Ready EDC Framework to rapidly set up a tailored offshore engagement for the healthcare group. This framework facilitated the creation of essential operational components, including dedicated infrastructure, HR, Legal, Regulatory, Finance, Payroll, Quality Assurance, and Program Management Office (PMO), ensuring a comprehensive, integrated solution.
Datamatics also implemented a Dedicated IT Infrastructure, designed to deliver a secure and agile environment for various critical functions. These included agile software development, automated and manual testing, system and user acceptance testing, application support, and release and configuration management. The infrastructure was optimized for digital transformation and cloud support, enabling seamless collaboration across time zones.
By creating this flexible and scalable environment, Datamatics enabled the healthcare group to work efficiently across the Follow-the-Sun development model. The solution provided the agility to innovate quickly while ensuring compliance with industry regulations and maintaining data security, ultimately empowering the client to meet its global operational and technological goals.
