THE OUTCOME
Gentiva Health Services, the nation’s largest hospice provider, runs on clinicians in the field who need technology that works without a second thought. Aging data centers, escalating licensing costs, and a managed services provider that had lost their trust were creating risk at exactly the wrong time. Presidio migrated 300-plus workloads to Microsoft Azure in nine weeks, 40% faster than planned, with zero system failures and zero service interruptions.
HOW THEY GOT THERE
Presidio redesigned Gentiva’s Azure environment using Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework best practices and deployed new clusters across multiple regions for resilience. The migration was originally scoped for 16 weeks. Presidio finished in nine. Working side by side with Gentiva’s internal team throughout, Presidio handled the complexity, and eliminated the projected four-times licensing cost increase that had been looming over the infrastructure roadmap.
WHY IT WORKED
Gentiva isn’t an IT company. Their clinicians are with families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Technology failure in that context isn’t an inconvenience, it’s a breakdown in care. Presidio understood what was actually at stake and treated the deadline accordingly.
“Presidio’s expertise and responsiveness made all the difference. They delivered a complex migration on a tight deadline with minimal disruption, outperforming our previous MSP and earning our full trust.”
