Abstract

This IDC Perspective illustrates the case of Munich Leukemia Laboratory (MLL), which adopted a cloud-first strategy to address its increasing compute and storage needs as well as support its business innovation plans. The case analyzes key factors that helped MLL to successfully analyze and process next-generation sequencing (NGS) and other diagnostic data in the cloud.

"As European healthcare providers pursue data-driven care delivery models, cloud technology investments are critical to support data integration, data sharing, and the use of advanced analytics and AI. By adopting cloud-first strategies, healthcare organizations reimage their IT enterprise architecture to streamline operations as well as improve their productivity and quality of care," said Adriana Allocato, research manager, IDC Health Insights Europe.

"The opportunities offered by cloud have been a catalyst of greater collaboration between clinical and IT professionals to streamline processes and develop new services, bringing innovation in the business model of MLL as well," said Silvia Piai, research director, IDC Health Insights Europe.
