Scaling a healthcare engineering organization from 20 to 100+

Our consulting team was instrumental in transforming the operations of a US healthcare client, scaling their team from 20 to over 100 people and equipping them to serve millions of customers and secure several government contracts.

The challenge

Rapid market entry in the healthcare sector, with the compliance obligations that come with it, on a team that needed to grow five-fold without losing delivery quality.

What we did

  • Scaled the workforce from 20 to over 100 professionals with specialized onboarding programs tailored to the client's operational needs
  • Integrated an Agile software development life cycle into the client's operations
  • Adopted DevOps practices on AWS with GitHub Actions and a deployment platform, enabling frequent and adaptable production updates
  • Implemented observability with New Relic for swift identification and resolution of issues
  • Built an automated evidence-collection service that streamlined compliance documentation for ISO, SOC2 and HIPAA
  • Led the redesign and refactoring of the client's frontend architecture and a comprehensive production incident triage process
  • Delivered a strategic database refactoring that improved performance and security of core systems

Results

  • A five-fold larger engineering organization serving millions of customers
  • Several government contracts secured
  • Compliance evidence collected automatically across three frameworks
  • Faster, safer production releases
