By working with Stage7 Systems to move internal resources & applications to the cloud, hospitals & medical practices can easily:

• Provide staff with access to all of their necessary systems, all the time, on any device
• Translate upfront IT infrastructure costs associated with EMR / EHR system implementations, desktop & server refreshes, data storage, and disaster recovery into a fixed monthly operating expense
• Secure sensitive data (Protected Health Information) and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (HIPAA, PCI)
• Eliminate the possibility of data loss or system downtime in the event of a disaster
• Ensure that all user systems and backend servers are consistently updated with the latest security patches
• Avoid the "peaks & valleys" expense commonly associated with third-party hourly IT support for in-house systems

According to a recent MarketsandMarkets report, the market for cloud computing is expected to grow more than 20% annually between 2012 and 2017 with the healthcare segment accounting for no less than 5% of that growth.
