Arium Health began operations in 2018 in the Dominican Republic, with the purpose of becoming a regional benchmark in applying technology solutions to the healthcare sector in the Caribbean country. Its goal is to raise quality standards in the healthcare sector through the use of technology that enables the application of IT solutions and the generation of data for population management.
The organization works with all the stakeholders that make up the healthcare system and has the most complete and integrated digital platform in the entire region, with the aim of providing specialized knowledge to all its end users.
As a company focused on using technology solutions to transform the healthcare sector, Arium Health had been working on improvements to its application with the goal of expanding it and growing its client market.
This new challenge meant Arium Health needed to find a solution that would help it meet the standards its platform required in terms of scalability, ease of use, and security.
That is how, in 2022, the company decided that Amazon Web Services was the viable alternative that could give it—together with IVCISA, a trusted AWS partner—the help it needed to apply a scalable, secure model with a pay-as-you-go scheme that allowed it to save costs on IT resources.
For Arium Health, the big challenge was keeping the application scalable, easy to use, and equipped with the resources needed to allow access for a larger number of end users, with minimal impact.
Maintaining the customer experience was vital, and with Amazon Web Services they found the versatility to operate a multi-user environment for workflows involving diverse computing resources.
With the incremental user model it sought for the application, Arium Health envisioned processes that included a business-intelligence solution and a data warehouse to help meet the demand the new challenge entailed.
Focused on these needs, IVCISA modernized the consumption of the reports Arium Health was generating at the time using Amazon QuickSight, loading data records from multiple sources and consolidating them into a data warehouse. This process included the cleansing and governance of the data, which was transferred to a Data Lake.
That is how Arium Health began its strategic relationship with IVCISA in 2022, as the recommended AWS partner to carry out the development of the Data Lake and Reporting with Amazon QuickSight.
“Our application is SaaS, and obviously that means that every time the client base grows, more resources will be needed—and that's the versatility AWS has given us.”
Arium Health sums up the results obtained from the project with IVCISA in one phrase: “We are quite satisfied with the implementation.”
On the business side, Arium Health was able to provide its healthcare-sector clients with a solution they themselves had requested, which today is functional and meets the required quality standards.
This project included a Data Lake, with all its components: Amazon Redshift, AWS Glue, and Amazon QuickSight as the report visualizer, as well as Amazon S3 and AWS Lake Formation.
Following the project's success, Arium Health is exploring other options together with AWS and IVCISA, including its database, an even greater increase in its application's capacity, and the addition of new features.
AWS solutions implemented:
“The advantage is that for every need the company has identified, there has always been an alternative from AWS, and we have gained a lot of added value from the relationship with IVCISA.”
