Client Overview

the healthcare organization is a healthcare technology company providing a SaaS platform that helps healthcare researchers efficiently manage clinical studies. As a direct customer of CONVX, the healthcare organization faced challenges with slow development cycles, aging technology infrastructure, and security and compliance concerns that limited their ability to scale and expand their market reach.

Business Challenge

  • Legacy PHP application with technical debt and performance issues
  • Slow development cycles that hindered feature delivery
  • Costly and inefficient cloud infrastructure
  • Limited ability to offer white-labeled solutions to expand market

reach

  • Security and compliance requirements for healthcare data
  • Lack of automated testing and deployment processes
  • Limited ability to audit study performance

CONVX\'s Approach

Our relationship with the healthcare organization began with cloud managed services for their Amazon AWS environment. After demonstrating our expertise in optimizing their infrastructure, CONVX expanded its role to take over application development from a competitor who lacked the necessary competencies in modern SaaS design, cloud-native architecture, and DevOps automation.

Infrastructure Transformation

CONVX implemented a comprehensive cloud strategy that:

  • Transformed the legacy application to a modern cloud-native

architecture

  • Containerized the application using Docker for improved scalability

and consistency

  • Implemented fully automated CI/CD pipelines with built-in security

checks

  • Created dedicated database instances for each environment to ensure

data isolation

  • Reduced infrastructure costs by 55% while improving performance and

reliability

Application Modernization

Our development team:

  • Modernized the codebase by integrating modern technologies including

JavaScript, React, and React Native

  • Implemented robust coding practices with automated linting and

real-time security checks

  • Transformed the codebase to support multi-tenancy and white-labeling

capabilities

  • Created a unified experience across web and mobile platforms
  • Accelerated development cycles by 110%, significantly improving

time-to-market

Data Platform Integration

CONVX enhanced the healthcare organization\'s data capabilities by:

  • Implementing a secure data integration architecture for sensitive

healthcare information

  • Creating dedicated MySQL instances with proper data isolation between

environments and clients

  • Building data pipelines to support analytics and reporting

requirements

  • Developing an audit tool for administrators to monitor study

performance against plan, saving approximately 3 hours per week of staff time per large study

Expanded Service Offerings

Through our partnership, the healthcare organization was able to:

  • Launch a white-labeled version of their platform that can be

customized with client branding while maintaining a single codebase

  • Develop a new healthcare study referral platform using serverless Vue

architecture that can be easily replicated for any healthcare study with minimal configuration changes

  • Support multiple instances with dedicated databases while maintaining

operational efficiency

Business Outcomes

The partnership between CONVX and the healthcare organization yielded significant measurable outcomes:

  • 55% reduction in infrastructure costs while improving performance
  • 110% faster development cycles, enabling more rapid feature

delivery

  • Creation of new revenue streams through white-labeled offerings
  • Enhanced security posture with automated security checks and

compliance monitoring

  • Improved application performance and user experience
  • Development of new serverless referral platform to expand market reach
  • Time savings of approximately 3 hours per week per large study through

improved audit capabilities

Technologies Utilized

  • Cloud Infrastructure: Amazon AWS
  • Containerization: Docker
  • Frontend: React, React Native, Vue.js
  • Backend: PHP (modernized), JavaScript
