EMC IT-AS-A-SERVICE SOLUTIONS FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS ESSENTIALS In tandem with your IT team, EMC can help your organization create an ITaaS Service Catalog to: Evolve to a scalable, flexible, dynamic IT-as-a-Service infrastructure at your own pace Improve response time to business and clinical needs through automation, self-service, and enhanced visibility into IT performance and usage Improve operational and management efficiencies to gain further control by automating service delivery Achieve financial transparency as you effectively deliver on SLAs and Lower CAPEX and OPEX costs over time As healthcare organizations brace for the IT impact of ACA legislation, executives and their Boards of Directors are under significant pressure. Healthcare costs are still rising, the chronically ill population continues to grow, and reimbursements are at risk. While IT is widely acknowledged as a critical enabler for healthcare transformation, shrinking margins and the need to achieve EMR Meaningful Use milestones require that projects demonstrate reduced costs while facilitating attestation. To meet the challenges of Meaningful Use, managing Protected Health Information, and "always on, anywhere access" at a lower IT cost, healthcare providers are implementing IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS) strategies. Building an agile ITaaS framework incorporates virtualization, converged IT platforms, private and hybrid cloud computing architectures, along with rationalization of the application portfolio. This solution overview describes EMC s comprehensive portfolio of solutions and services to help your IT organization incorporate virtualization, cloud computing, and ITaaS capabilities for improved operating efficiencies, scalability, and agility. BUILDING A FOUNDATION FOR YOUR ITAAS JOURNEY Healthcare organizations are no longer asking whether to deploy virtualization and cloud computing models, but how. In fact, many healthcare organizations have already taken an important first step in their cloud journey by virtualizing and standardizing their infrastructure. But, to be prepared for the next step in your journey, you ll need a commitment to IT-as-a-Service to stay in front of changing IT, business, and clinical requirements. An ITaaS foundation enables your organization to stand up new technologies, service delivery, and consumption models geared towards the needs of your internal customers. Making the shift to ITaaS is typically a gradual process involving fundamental changes that won t be made overnight. Instead of rationing IT services and restricting investment in new capabilities, your IT organization can become a true service provider and broker of services that strives to meet the requirements of its users. In doing so, you will not only compete effectively with public cloud providers, but partner with them as needed, to better serve your organization s business and clinical objectives. EMC will team with your organizational stakeholders to define your current state and determine a plan for achieving this vision at a pace that makes sense for your organization. SOLUTION OVERVIEW

BECOME THE IT SERVICE PROVIDER OF CHOICE Whether your organization is exploring cloud computing solutions with a service provider or is building a services catalog within your own delivery network to become an "IT Service Provider of Choice," EMC cloud-based systems and as-a-service solutions provide platform-independent access to applications to minimize the existing limitations of a legacy-based approach to patient information sharing and availability. An ITaaS approach offers the opportunity to lower operational costs, restructure costs from capital to operating expenses, improve service levels, and accelerate the deployment of key healthcare applications. IT transformation is not just about technology. It also involves changing people s roles, organizational processes, and skills to adapt to the new IT paradigm. Healthcare providers can leverage EMC s expertise and solutions to rethink their organization and the skills required to gain this new efficiency and agility. We can help you take three important steps toward Health ITaaS: Infrastructure Readiness: A virtualized infrastructure enables the rapid deployment of new business and clinical applications, reducing the costs of storing and managing patient data, including medical images. PHI compliance is facilitated with improved security and backup and disaster recovery capabilities. Improve Your Operating Model: As IT transforms its operations, moving from an exclusive provider of IT services to an ITaaS model as a broker of IT services," new skills, roles, and processes will need to be established to maximize the adoption and efficiency of new business models such as Accountable Care. Rationalize Your Applications: IT can enable the rationalization, optimization, and in some cases, the decommissioning of clinical legacy applications in a virtual infrastructure. By building new applications using software lifecycle automation techniques, your organization can become more proactive and take advantage of new business and clinical opportunities. An ITaaS model enables your organization deliver competitive services to meet the needs of clinical departments and lines-of-business at lower cost. To get started, your organization can leverage multiple approaches including transitioning to a modern cloud architecture to improve agility and the management of IT services, launching a specific service focused on a business or clinical priority, and implementing best practices to run IT as a business. 2

EMC GLOBAL SERVICES TO NAVIGATE ITAAS EMC recommends a lifecycle approach to ITaaS that begins with establishing an ITaaS strategy to chart your course.

EMC Residency Services for Virtual Environments provide services for the implementation and management of the virtual environment. Residents also make proactive recommendations based on best practices for improving the virtual environment and adapting it to meet changing business requirements. FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY Shifting to an ITaaS model fundamentally changes the way IT delivers services as well as the way users select, receive, and consume them. It also requires that your organization change the way such services are priced, paid for, and invested in. An ITaaS framework better positions your organization to speed service delivery and reliably support the dynamic needs of the environment in a highly-automated and agile infrastructure, enabling business and clinical departments to rapidly provision resources and incur costs based on usage. A key enabler of an as-a-service model is the development of a services catalog to help facilitate the transformation from a custom-engineering organization to one where standard offerings are the norm. In tandem with your IT team, EMC can help your organization create a Service Catalog to: Evolve to a scalable, flexible, dynamic IT-as-a-Service infrastructure at your own pace Improve response time to business and clinical needs through automation, self-service, and enhanced visibility into IT performance and usage Improve operational and management efficiencies to gain further control by automating service delivery Achieve financial transparency as you effectively deliver on SLAs and Lower CAPEX and OPEX costs over time To further capitalize on the benefits of your services catalog, you ll also want to build in a set of financial transparent processes that capture the true usage and costs to showback and even chargeback to the particular business or clinical department for the IT services consumed. Whether you decide to showback or chargeback, EMC Global Services can help your organization: Detail what goes into determining actual costs to deliver services Show greater transparency into business performance and value Track the details of services rendered clearly and accurately Enable the transfer of budgets from traditional IT to the business and clinical departments Help IT and the business to be more prudent and reduce over-allocation of resources Allow IT to market and sell competitive offerings to the business 4
