The Risk Management Foundation of the Harvard Medical Institutions (CRICO), the insurance program for all the Harvard medical institutions and their affiliates, was a long time VMware customer. CRICO was facing significant challenges to Broadcom’s pricing bundles. They engaged Veritium to orchestrate a strategic migration to a native AWS. Delivered on time and on budget, the transition established a robust and secure foundation for advancing toward a more cloud-native application platform, enhancing operational agility, and enabling future innovation and scalability.
Their Challenge
Complex Environment: CRICO’s environment was constructed of tightly integrated systems. The integration required coordinated migration while maintaining bidirectional communication.
Accelerated Timeline: Accomplished a rapid migration to the new AWS environment ahead of major subscription expiration.
Enhanced Security: CRICO leveraged the AWS migration to implement advanced controls to inspect
data at ingress, egress, and intra network communication.
Our Strategy
Workload Assessment: Assessed the environment and designed a well architected AWS architecture.
Strategic Guidance: Delivered recommendations to maximize cloud service adoption.
Phased Migration: Implemented a coordinated migration to AWS EC2, advancing environments from development through production to reduce risk and ensure stability.
DR Testing: Developed a DR runbook and performed ongoing validation.

Support
Faced with a complex environment and a mid-project security overhaul, Veritium executed the migration ahead of schedule. A dedicated Client Success Manager ensures ongoing strategic consulting and engineering support for future AWS initiatives, included with every Veritium engagement.
Veritium maintains a comprehensive disaster recovery (DR) runbook and performs quarterly DR tests with documented findings. In addition, our team provides 24/7/365 monitoring and remediation, eliminating the need for CRICO to manage specialized skill sets or infrastructure for DR scenarios.

They supported us in designing the architecture and building the required infrastructure, with careful attention to networking, patching, security, and disaster recovery. Their expertise proved invaluable to our internal team, and their staff were consistently diligent and responsive. Veritium played and continues to play a critical role in the success of our AWS migration."
