Do you manage health care data? Gerry Miller, CEO of Cloudticity, shares the story behind starting this cloud-based business and how it can help you.
In this episode, Brian Anderson interviews Gerry Miller, CEO of Cloudticity—a company dedicated to improving public health by helping medical providers and companies wrangle the cloud. They provide managed services focused on developing HIPAA compliant applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
A serial entrepreneur, Gerry was approached by Microsoft Consulting Services and asked to serve as practice manager for the Great Lakes district and, later, the chief technology officer for the Central U.S. region.
When Gerry left Microsoft, he spent several years helping companies scale and doing some angel investing before stumbling into Cloudticity.
At that time, there was a tremendous sea tide change happening in the healthcare industry. The HITECH Act had just been passed. The Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, had just been passed, which forced a tremendous amount of investment in digitizing health data. And healthcare and technology had always been passions of his.
He and a friend decided to start a cloud-based company to help ingest large quantities of data at scale. In the early days of Cloudticity, they built the first patient portal ever on the cloud and the first health information exchange (HIE) on the cloud. They started getting noticed by AWS who sent business their way.
Gerry adds that the most important aspect of the cloud that his clients enjoy is agility. He says while it generally starts as a financial decision, it very quickly becomes a competitive differentiator for many of their clients, as they can move faster in the cloud.
In March of 2020, the state of New York was the hardest hit by COVID-19 in the country. Cloudticity helped them get an operational data lake with data flowing in six days, and that fed their contact tracing program, which is the largest civil project ever in the history of the state of New York. And six weeks later, they were the first state that entered green.
We thank Gerry Miller for his time on the Augusto Digital Insights podcast and wish him and Cloudticity the very best!
