Cerner is making AWS its preferred cloud provider as the race to win over healthcare companies moving to the cloud heats up.
Cerner controls about 27% of the hospital EHR market.
When it came to picking a cloud partner, Cerner Chief Operating Officer Mike Nill said that the capabilities of top cloud providers like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are getting closer to one another, making it less of a differentiation when looking for a cloud partner. "For us, the larger influencer was the innovation angle that we saw with AWS and Amazon," Nill told Business Insider.
In particular, Nill cited the ability to collaborate with Amazon in addition to AWS — using the company's consumer and supply chain expertise — to build tools together that the two organizations could then sell to other healthcare companies. He also said AWS was willing to move Cerner onto the cloud faster.Cerner has been moving more of its services to data centers that it operates and then to the cloud.
Moving to the cloud is a big change for the healthcare industry, which only recently transition from paper to digital and is. The next phase of that, Nill said, will be to get it on the cloud, where it's easier to use machine learning and artificial intelligence to analyze that data and ideally build new tools that make doctors' jobs easier and keep patients healthier.
