Cloudification
via AWS Migration
AWS Advanced Tier Partner & Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) Specialists
Cloud migration via AWS-native modernization is not about getting servers into the cloud.
It’s the catalyst for getting your organization positioned to innovate, adapt, and save lives.
AWS Migration:
The Sublimation Health Difference
The first team to ever migrate an entire health system ecosystem — including the EHR and all integrated applications — to AWS with zero on-premise footprint.
We Wrote the Book
We live up to our name — Sublimation means going from solid to gas instantly. Our migrations are executed faster, cheaper, and better without compromising quality or security.
Unmatched Speed-to-Value
That only serves to refinance technical debt. We re-engineer your ecosystem from Day 1 using AWS-native services.
No Lifting-and-Shifting
We modernize COTS applications and your entire tech stack to truly leverage elasticity, resilience, and automation in the cloud.
Cloudification
This is organizational transformation. We are healthcare people first, making us uniquely capable of coordinating across vendors, IT teams, clinicians, SMEs, and leadership so your teams see results rather than friction.
Not Just an IT Project
We don’t get paid in full until we deliver in full. No change orders, no vendor finger-pointing. Just results.
We are so confident in our support and cloud management model that if you choose our support services, we’ll commit to CAPPING your cloud costs.
Skin-in-the-Game Model
We optimize MAP credits across all stages — planning, migration, and managed services — to stretch every AWS dollar further.
AWS MAP Maximized
We’re a healthcare modernization partner. Our work sets the foundation to innovate faster, adapt safely, and ultimately — save lives.
Not an SOW Factory
Sublimation Health vs. Lift-and-Shift Vendors
High TCO & Tech Debt
Lift-and-Shift: Debt moves to AWS with out-of-control costs
Sublimation Cloudification: 20‑40 % lower TCO with re‑platformed apps featuring built-in resiliency and financial operations (FinOps) controls
Downtime
Lift-and-Shift: Over complicated architecture sessions and long cutover windows
Sublimation Cloudification: Highly organized co-laboratory process. minimal‑downtime cutovers using proprietary automation
Application Modernization
Lift-and-Shift: Infrastructure-only focus. Server by server, bit by bit. Little benefit to application functionality or availability
Sublimation Cloudification: App-centric, AWS-native re-platforming with full vendor support.
Resilience & HA
Lift-and-Shift: Post-migration bolted-on DR (if vendor supported)
Sublimation Cloudification: Multi-AZ, multi-Region, auto-scaled, recovery-tested from Day 1
Automation & Right-Sizing
Lift-and-Shift: Manual scaling and server management.
Sublimation Cloudification: Built-in cloud automation using CloudWatch, Lambda, and Auto Scaling Groups ASGs. Tech-debt resistant with automated updates
Clinical & Operational Buy-In
Lift-and-Shift: Treated as another disruptive IT project with little clinical value
Sublimation Cloudification: Experienced healthcare people coordinate execution with clinicians, SMEs, vendors and hospital operations
AWS Cloudification Journey
Ignite: Orient & Educate >>
We kick off with interactive, high-impact sessions that demystify AWS-native services like HealthLake, Control Tower, and SageMaker. Our workshops showcase real-world healthcare use cases and help stakeholders across IT, clinical, and business functions understand the value beyond infrastructure migration.
Evaluate: Assess & Align >>
Using the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), MAP Readiness tools, and the AWS Migration Evaluator, we identify organizational readiness, application dependencies, and funding potential. This phase builds your AWS-backed business case, including TCO modeling and stakeholder alignment across IT and operations.
Architect: Modernization Plan >>
We develop cloud-native designs aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework and AWS Control Tower best practices. This includes automation planning, IAM & security design (via KMS, Config, CloudTrail), and proactive cost modeling using AWS Budgets and Cost Explorer all embedded into a DevOps-based project plan.
Activate: Construct & Automate >>
Your secure landing zone is provisioned using AWS Organizations, with infrastructure-as-code, logging, and governance baselines established through AWS-native tooling. Environments are staged with built-in resilience and automated runbooks powered by CloudFormation or Terraform — production-ready from the start.
Execute: Cloudify & Migrate >>
No lift-and-shift here. We use AWS Application Migration Service and our proprietary Co-Laboratory to replatform COTS and Epic-integrated apps into scalable, auto-healing architectures (EC2 Auto Scaling, FSx, S3, and more). CloudWatch, Systems Manager, and Elastic Disaster Recovery ensure uptime throughout execution.
Sustain: Optimize & Transform
Post go-live, we continue to drive value through the AWS MAP Optimization phase, FinOps analysis, and continuous modernization. From DR automation to ML adoption with SageMaker and AI/analytics with HealthLake, we turn your AWS environment into an engine for clinical and operational transformation.
Case Studies
ScottCare
Sublimation Health engaged in a strategic partnership with Tufts Medical Center to revolutionize its cardiac monitoring services and address the systemic challenges posed by outdated infrastructure.
Data Innovations
We helped Lowell General Hospital Saints Campus transition from an outdated on-premises model to a modern, cloud-based solution for the Data Innovations Solution for laboratory services.
Sodexo
Sublimation Health worked with Lowell General Hospital to transition its Sodexo application, critical for managing the hospital’s non-clinical services, to efficient AWS Cloud Hosting.
TigerConnect
Sublimation Health's partnership with MelroseWakefield Hospital transformed its communication infrastructure through AWS Cloud Hosting for the TigerConnect application.
