Atos today announces a 5-year contract to deliver managed services for digital operations, applications and cybersecurity for Independent Health (IH), a leading healthcare insurance organization with more than 330,000 members across Western New York.
Atos’ operational solutions will leverage infrastructure and digital platforms to optimize operating costs and generate efficiencies across the business landscape. For example, Atos’ solutions will further the business model to help enable improvements for care management programs like Independent Health’s Care for You program and customer service initiatives that provide integrated care and member engagement models in supporting customers, physicians and providers alike.
In addition, Atos will transform and evolve Independent Health’s enterprise applications portfolio to be agile, mobile and rooted in analytics, across its private infrastructure. The application modernization will increase business flexibility by opening and extending legacy applications to new services and platforms, while fully protecting business risk and the data capital.
