After working in the cloud for 15 years, Frank Scalzo can tell you is one of the most exciting—and challenging—spaces.
The numbers don't lie: Healthcare cloud computing is exploding from $53.8B in 2024 to a projected $120.6B by 2029. That's a 17.5% CAGR!
But here's the reality check—moving healthcare to the cloud isn't just "lift and shift." Legacy EHRs and PACS systems weren't designed for the cloud. Add data sovereignty regulations, latency concerns, and vendor lock-in fears—it's a minefield.
The cloud isn't the future anymore—it's the now. If you're in healthcare IT, you're either planning your cloud strategy or living it. The key is balancing security, compliance, and performance while modernizing stubborn legacy systems.
What's your biggest healthcare cloud challenge? Drop it in the comments!
