Alira Health is an international patient-centric and technology-enabled advisory firm whose mission is to humanize healthcare. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Massachusetts, the company works with healthcare and life sciences organizations looking for support across their entire solutions lifecycle, from development to medical care, through real-world evidence.
Alira Health has enjoyed strong organic growth and a steadily increasing workforce, in 2021 its headcount increased more dramatically when it acquired additional businesses. The different acquisitions resulted in a leap from 200 to 600 employees, but Alira Health also acquired a company using Citrix ShareFile. Alira Health now had several storage ecosystems: ShareFile and its own SharePoint, resulting in “two sources of truth”.
The team’s first attempt to migrate Citrix ShareFile data into its own SharePoint environment failed because of the complexity of ShareFile. The team needed a consulting firm that could gain the trust of internal customers and chose Proventeq to support its second attempt at migrating 100GB of data from Citrix ShareFile to SharePoint.
Proventeq provided what Alira Health described as “critically important support around the challenges of loading and reloading data and identifying and resolving errors”, issues which could have presented roadblocks to a successful migration.
The migration to SharePoint Online delivered significant benefits to Alira Health, transforming how they manage and collaborate with business data:
- Unifying two sources of truth: By moving their content from Citrix Sharefile to SharePoint Online, Alira Health was able to reduce the number of licenses required by working in one data ecosystem, instead of two.
- A truly collaborative culture: Alira Health is able to train all staff remotely, at the same time, in the same shared environment. This improves the employee experience and promotes a collaborative culture in the workplace.
- Time & efficiency: The migration was successful and the Alira Health IS&T team could provide internal clients with reliable feedback and security which matched their Citrix folders.
Proventeq’s support with assessment and planning was excellent: we could create tasks and know what we had to run, organise the migration and match the security from the Citrix environment to the SharePoint one.”
