Baxter, a medical products company, is advancing its digital transformation through a collaboration with Amazon Web Services.
Four notes:
- Baxter extended its multiyear agreement with AWS so it can continue to use Amazon's cloud as a foundation for digital transformation. For the last few years, both companies have been collaborating to move Baxter's data onto the cloud, which is nearly complete, according to an Aug. 2 news release.
- The renewed partnership will help Baxter to develop digital health solutions to personalize and improve patient care, enable a smoother experience for patients, and modernize technology to deliver data insights to its staff and customers.
- When Baxter compared having physical data to having data on the cloud, it noted cloud-supported data increased the speed to market for new tools and solutions. It also allows them to expand their technology to new locations and has significantly reduced costs.
- More than 200 Baxter employees have at least one AWS certification. The company plans to continue to upskill its global workforce through digital learning programs.
