Description

This study examines how healthcare organizations are advancing their cloud strategies amid rising demand for AI, increased financial pressures, and growing operational complexity. Findings show that the cloud has become the core foundation of digital transformation, with adoption shifting from basic migration toward modernization, automation, and AI-driven intelligence. Hybrid, multicloud, and edge architectures continue to expand as organizations seek to improve performance, scalability, and clinical innovation while meeting stringent regulatory and security requirements.

In 2025, healthcare organizations are accelerating the transition from legacy systems to cloud-native and AI-enabled applications, reducing the share of non-cloud workloads to below 20%. However, skill shortages, cost optimization pressures, and increasing architectural complexity remain key constraints. As a result, reliance on third-party service providers continues to rise, with most healthcare enterprises either using or planning to use managed or professional services to support modernization, compliance, interoperability, and deployment of advanced cloud capabilities.

Overall, the study highlights a sector entering a mature phase of cloud adoption—one characterized by platform-led modernization, deeper integration of AI and analytics, greater use of edge computing, and a strong shift toward partnership-driven execution. This evolution positions cloud as a strategic enabler for clinical efficiency, patient experience, and long-term digital resilience.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
